Warren Road Elementary School, Augusta GA

Original Research by School Decision on Warren Road Elementary School

Warren Road Elementary School is a public elementary school serving prekindergarten through fifth grade in Augusta, Georgia. The school enrolls a student population of mixed economic circumstance, with a substantial majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The racial composition is predominantly Black, with a minority white population and smaller shares of Hispanic, multiracial, Asian, and other students.

Academic performance across tested subjects and grades sits well below state proficiency benchmarks. In mathematics, proficiency rates climb modestly from third through fifth grade but remain low across the span. English language arts shows a similar pattern, with fifth-grade students reaching higher proficiency than younger grades. Science proficiency at fifth grade is particularly low. Across all tested subjects, the school's overall proficiency index places it above the midpoint among the three school districts in Richmond County, though that positioning reflects peer performance rather than strong absolute achievement. The state testing data available covers only the most recent school year, so trends over time cannot be observed from the records provided.

Warren Road sits in an Augusta neighborhood typical of the city's car-oriented suburban zones rather than the walkable downtown core. Housing in the school's 30907 zip code is moderately priced by national standards, with home values and rental costs lower than Georgia and U.S. benchmarks. The neighborhood itself is stable rather than rapidly growing; growth activity in the greater Augusta area is concentrated in downtown multifamily housing and in North Augusta across the river.

Parents in this area should know that Richmond County School System is implementing a Long-Range Facilities Master Plan beginning in the 2026-27 school year that will redraw attendance zones and consolidate or repurpose several schools. The district has not specified how Warren Road fits into these changes. The plan includes closing T.W. Josey Comprehensive High School as a zoned high school by the end of 2028-29 and converting the Josey-Murphey campus into a districtwide College and Career Academy choice program. These changes will reshape feeder patterns and school assignments for families currently in the zone. A parent may want to consult the district's website or reach out directly to understand how these upcoming shifts will affect Warren Road's attendance boundaries and which secondary schools its students will feed into going forward.

The district maintains a traditional school calendar with an extended summer break rather than adopting a year-round or modified calendar, a choice made after public input in 2023-24.

Information on the school's specific programs, staffing levels, or student support services was not available in the data provided, nor were indicators such as chronic absenteeism or discipline data.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
