Summary

Warren Elementary is a PK–5 public school in Warren, MN, serving 316 students in the Warren-Alvarado-Oslo School District, a rural northwest Minnesota community where families also consider nearby Viking Elementary and Stephen-Argyle Central Elementary. In 2025–2026, Warren Elementary ranked 355th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools—59th percentile, 3 stars—placing it above the state median and slightly above its district’s 55th-percentile, 3-star rank. Its recent history has been uneven: after a dip to 48th percentile in 2023–2024, it recovered to 63rd percentile in 2024–2025 and 59th percentile in 2025–2026, still below its 2020–2021 peak of 84th percentile.

Academically, reading is Warren’s relative strength. All-grade reading proficiency is 53.1%, above Minnesota’s 48.6% and above Stephen-Argyle Central Elementary’s 48.4%; 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders all exceed the state reading average. Math is also strong compared with the state: 55.2% versus 44.9%, with 3rd and 4th grades at or above state levels and 5th grade at 42.2%. However, Stephen-Argyle’s math proficiency is higher at 61.5%. Science is the clearest concern: Warren’s 5th-grade science proficiency is 17.8%, below the state’s 25.5% and far below Stephen-Argyle’s 45.0%. That is a sharp drop from Warren’s recent science results—40.38% in 2024–2025, 41.03% in 2023–2024, and 45.45% in 2022–2023—though a single 5th-grade cohort can cause large swings.

For context, 43.67% of Warren students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, similar to Viking Elementary (42.86%) but higher than Stephen-Argyle (36.08%). Warren’s student-teacher ratio is 13.2, slightly better than Stephen-Argyle’s 13.8, but higher than Viking’s 9.0; Viking serves only PK–1 and has no comparable test-score history, so direct academic comparisons are not appropriate. A standout is Warren’s effectiveness ranking for low-income students: 87th percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026, following 73rd percentile in 2024–2025 and 79th in 2023–2024. Rankings for female students (47th percentile) were below the school’s overall 59th percentile. Overall, Warren is an above-average local option with strong reading and low-income student results, but families should watch science and the gap with Stephen-Argyle in math, science, and overall rank.
