Summary:
The Warden School District contains one elementary school, Warden Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 for the community of Warden, Washington.
Warden Elementary serves a student population with significant economic need, as over three-quarters of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Academically, the school faces considerable challenges, with student proficiency rates in English, math, and science falling 20 to 28 percentage points below the Washington state average. The school's ranking among Washington elementary schools has declined over the past three years, placing it in the bottom 10% statewide for the 2024-2025 school year.
Despite these academic results, the school's operational resources, including spending over $16,500 per student and a student-teacher ratio of 16-to-1, are comparable to or better than many schools. A closer look reveals some variation: fourth-grade English scores are relatively stronger, while fifth-grade math scores are particularly low. Notably, the school's math performance is actually higher than the average for the Warden School District overall. The consistent downward trend in ranking suggests a need for focused intervention and a review of how existing resources are used to support student learning.
