Summary

Warrenton High is a public high school located in Warrenton, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 978 students. The school is part of the Warren County R-III School District, which is ranked 201 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Warrenton High has consistently underperformed compared to the state and its district average on standardized test scores, with proficiency rates lower than the state and district averages across all subject areas. The school's performance on these tests has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 174 in 2021-2022 to 222 in 2024-2025. Warrenton High also struggles to support its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom quartile of Missouri high schools for Hispanic, Special Education, and Gifted and Talented student subgroups. While the school's four-year graduation rate has improved, it still lags behind the state and district averages, and its dropout rate has been higher than the state and district.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Washington High, Liberty High, and Timberland High, Warrenton High's academic performance and student outcomes are generally lower. These nearby schools serve more affluent communities, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance. The declining trend and struggles to support Warrenton High's diverse student population suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and engagement.
