Summary

Warden Elementary is a public school serving 416 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Warden, Washington, as part of the Warden School District. The school serves a relatively high-need community, with 77.88% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its 16.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio is lower than that of most nearby comparison schools, which may support small-group instruction and targeted help.

Recent academic results show meaningful improvement. In 2025–2026, 36.84% of students were proficient in English language arts, 35.08% in math, and 32.20% in science—up from the prior year in all three subjects. The school’s statewide ranking rose from the 9th percentile to the 25th percentile, although it remains below Washington averages and earned a one-star rating. Warden Elementary performs above its district average in every tested subject, with its largest advantage in math. Still, fifth-grade math is a concern: proficiency drops to 27.42%, compared with 42.65% in fourth grade. Science is the broadest academic gap, trailing the state by 18.75 percentage points.

Compared with nearby schools, Warden Elementary ranks below Sage Point Elementary School, Vicki I. Groff Elementary School, and several other schools, but above Midway Elementary and Hiawatha Elementary School. Some schools with similarly high economic-need rates, including Scootney Springs Elementary and Wahitis Elementary School, currently achieve stronger results. Warden also reports lower per-student spending than all listed comparison schools. Overall, the recent rebound is encouraging, but the key questions are whether gains continue, fifth-grade math improves, and the science gap narrows.
