The first Warren School was built in 1884 in the village of Warren on land that was donated by the Ridgely family. It was a two-room stone structure located across the stream from the town mill. A two-room addition was added in 1914.

Mr. Edward Nelson was the first principal of Warren School. Ms. Estelle Waters was the first assistant principal. The professional staff of Warren School earned two dollars a day.

In 1922 the stream that went through the town was dammed. As a result, the Loch Raven reservoir was formed. The town was evacuated, the school was closed, and the area was flooded.

A new Warren Elementary School was built in 1971 near the old site. It cost $1.1 million dollars to construct. The new building, Warren's current building, covers an area of 56,000 feet and is made of brick and glass. This facility is electrically heated and fully air-conditioned. Warren currently has twenty classrooms, an art room, vocal music room, media center, cafetorium, gymnasium, computer lab, speech/language resource room, reading resource room, ESOL resource room, and academic assistance resource room.

A collection of photographs is on display next to the entrance in the main lobby that commemorates the village of Warren which was flooded in 1922 to increase the water supply in the Baltimore metropolitan area. It was donated to the present Warren School by its alumni in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the closing of the old Warren School.

Warren Elementary School is located near Cockeysville Middle School and Dulaney High School in the central area of Baltimore County. A large number of professional people reside in this area with a variety of families from diverse ethnic backgrounds. Warren is primarily a walker school which services students from single family homes, town houses, and apartments.
