Summary

Warsaw Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Warsaw, North Carolina, with an enrollment of 803 students. The school is part of the Duplin County Schools district, which is ranked 196 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Warsaw Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in math and reading were significantly lower than the district and state averages, with gaps ranging from 10-40 percentage points. Additionally, Warsaw Elementary has been ranked in the bottom 10-15% of North Carolina elementary schools for the past several years, with 0 or 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

While Warsaw Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, such as B.F. Grady Elementary and Rose Hill-Magnolia Elementary, the school's persistent underperformance suggests deeper systemic issues that need to be addressed. The extremely high percentage of students from low-income families at Warsaw Elementary, with over 99% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the school's academic struggles, and targeted interventions and support for these students may be necessary.
