However, the school's test scores, as measured by the MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) exams, are generally higher than the district average but lower than the state average. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 55.7% in Algebra I, 38.9% in English II, 49.1% in Biology, and 52% in U.S. History, compared to the district averages of 45.9%, 34.9%, 43.6%, and 50.7%, respectively. Additionally, Warren Central High School has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.9% to 37.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the district average.

Interestingly, Vicksburg High School, another high school in the same district, has lower test scores and graduation rates compared to Warren Central High School. Furthermore, over the past few years, Warren Central High School's statewide ranking has declined, from 158 out of 233 high schools in 2018-2019 to 158 out of 232 high schools in 2024-2025, suggesting that the school's performance may be declining relative to other high schools in the state. The fact that 100% of Warren Central High School's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the school's relatively lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates.
