White students were the largest ethnic group in Warren County in the 2023-24 school year, according to the Illinois State Board of Education.
Of the 2,532 students attending Warren County schools, 67% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 20% of Warren County students.
In the previous school year, white students were also the most common group in Warren County, representing 68.7% of the student body.
Lincoln Early Childhood School had the most even distribution of races among county schools, including 55.3% white students, 23.3% Hispanic students, 7.8% multiracial students, 6.9% Asian students, and 6.6% African American students.
The Illinois State Board of Education’s budget for fiscal year 2026 will increase from nearly $10.8 billion to about $11.2 billion. This includes a $307 million boost for K–12 schools, marking the smallest annual increase since 2020.
The agency has paused about $50 million in funding previously allocated through the Evidence-Based Funding formula for the Property Tax Relief Grant while reviewing its impact on local tax relief. Officials say the pause could affect the timing and amount of property tax relief available to taxpayers.
