Summary

Warren Area Elementary Center is a public elementary school serving 708 students in grades K-4 in the Warren County School District in Pennsylvania. According to the data, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a current ranking of 1220 out of 1511 schools and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts were 33.2% and 26.2%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, with the school's White students and Low Socioeconomic Status students ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. Despite the relatively high spending per student of $18,856 in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Warren County School District, such as Sheffield Area Elementary School, Youngsville Elementary School, and Eisenhower Elementary School, generally outperform Warren Area Elementary Center on academic measures. For example, Eisenhower Elementary School had significantly higher proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts, ranking in the top 50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the challenges faced by Warren Area Elementary Center.

Warren Area El seems to be far less concerned about being educators as they are being an extension of the Warren Children and Youth social services agency. Despite being below the 50 percentile in every subject for schools in PA, the teachers very rarely send home homework or educational materials. They only send home endless fundraising requests and distribute non-education related flyers (like foster care advertisements for Warren Children & Youth). When I ask my third grader what he is learning in school, the majority of the time the answer is units that he was learning in 1-2 grade or even kindergarten. Before moving to this area, my child attended a public elementary school in a very low-income diverse neighborhood, and the quality was surprisingly far superior! If you value the quality of your child's actual academic education, I would advise finding a better school. Close Quote
