Summary

Warren Central Intermediate is an elementary school in Vicksburg, MS serving grades 3 through 6, with 353 students, part of the Vicksburg Warren School District. The school has earned a 1-star rating, ranking 319th of 377 elementary schools in Mississippi—the 15th percentile. Its student body is universally high-poverty, with 100% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. Chronic absenteeism was 24.0% in 2023-24, close to the state average of 23.9% and better than the district rate of 29.2%. The student-teacher ratio of 14.1 is relatively favorable compared with several nearby schools.

Warren Central Intermediate's test scores are below the district and state in every tested subject and grade. Average ELA proficiency for grades 4-6 is about 36.8%, compared with 48.6% for the district and 52.1% for the state. Average math proficiency is 32.2%, versus 44.9% for the district and 51.3% for the state. Fifth-grade science proficiency is 53.9%, compared with 64.9% for the district and 71.5% for the state. The comparison with Vicksburg Intermediate is especially stark: both schools serve grades 3-6, have similar enrollment, and both have 100% free/reduced lunch and similar chronic absenteeism rates (24.0% vs. 24.2%). Yet Vicksburg Intermediate outperforms Warren Central by wide margins in nearly every subject—4th-grade ELA is 49.4% vs. 37.6%, and 4th-grade math is 51.2% vs. 26.6%.

Poverty alone does not explain the school's performance. Every elementary school in the Vicksburg Warren School District has near-universal free/reduced lunch eligibility, yet outcomes range from Bovina Elementary's 5-star, 97th-percentile performance to Warren Central's 1-star, bottom-15% performance. Warren Central has been stuck in the bottom fifth of Mississippi schools for over a decade, though the 2025-26 rank (319th) is slightly better than 2024-25 (341st), and chronic absenteeism has declined from 37.4% to 24.0% in two years. The likely feeder school, Sherman Avenue Elementary, posted very low 3rd-grade scores in 2025-26, suggesting many students arrive already behind. The school's lower student-teacher ratio compared with higher-performing nearby schools makes its low scores more striking, pointing to instructional quality and early-grade preparation rather than simply class sizes.
