Summary

Warden Elementary is a public elementary school (PK-5) serving 416 students in Warden, WA, operating within the Warden School District, which faces significant systemic challenges as one of the lowest-ranked districts in the state.

Academic performance at the school is a serious concern, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science less than half the state average and ranking in the bottom 10% of Washington elementary schools; this performance has declined sharply over the past three years. The school serves a student population with a high level of economic need, with over three-quarters qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school operates with a relatively low per-student budget and maintains a favorable student-to-teacher ratio, these efficiencies have not translated into improved academic outcomes.

Comparisons to nearby schools reveal that improvement is possible in the region. For instance, Sage Point Elementary in the Moses Lake School District achieves proficiency rates more than double Warden's. Furthermore, schools with similar levels of economic disadvantage, like Wahitis Elementary in the Othello School District, demonstrate significantly stronger academic results, indicating that Warden Elementary is struggling more than comparable schools in the area.
