Summary:
ZIP code 56762 in Warren, Minnesota contains exactly one elementary school, Warren Elementary, serving students in grades PK–5 and enrolling 316 children as part of the Warren-Alvarado-Oslo School District. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, every area-level conclusion reflects that single school.
Math and reading are the standout strengths. In 2025–2026, all-grades math proficiency was 55.2%, above the district's 43.9% and the state's 44.9%, while reading was 53.1% versus 49.2% for the district and 48.6% for the state. Grade-level results confirm the pattern: 3rd grade math at 62.5% (state 57.9%) and 4th grade math at 59.5% (state 55.2%), with reading above the state in 3rd grade (50% vs. 46.8%), 4th grade (52.4% vs. 48.8%) and 5th grade (57.8% vs. 54.5%). The school ranked 355 of 869 elementary schools in 2025–2026, at the 59th percentile with 3 stars — a major improvement over 2023–2024, when it placed 460 of 881 at the 48th percentile with 2 stars.
Science is the clear concern. All-grades science proficiency fell to 17.8% in 2025–2026, below the district's 19.1% and well below the state's 25.5%, down sharply from 40.38% in 2024–2025. Since elementary science is tested in 5th grade, this points to a significant 5th grade science gap (17.8% vs. the state's 25.9%). Reading also slipped slightly, from 56.03% to 53.1%, though it remains a relative strength. With 43.67% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch and a 13.2 student-teacher ratio, the school's above-state math and reading results are notable.
