Understanding the 2/10 Rating
SchoolDistrictFinder rates Warren Township Metropolitan School District 1 out of 10 — low-rated among Indiana public school districts. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in Indiana’s ILEARN grades 3–8 assessments (2024–25 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Indiana is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
Warren Township Metropolitan School District holds a low overall rating, with reading and math proficiency among the lowest in Indiana on state assessments. Test results reflect many factors beyond the classroom, including community and economic conditions; a low score is a signal to research carefully, not a verdict on any individual school or teacher.
