Warren Consolidated School District is a public school district serving the cities of Warren, Sterling Heights and Troy, Michigan. It operates 25 schools including two specialized partial-day high schools that draw from the other schools within the district. Warren Consolidated has about 16,000 students and a student/teacher ratio of 20:1. The district was led by Superintendent James Clor from 1999 until November 2007. Dr. Robert D. Livernois took over as superintendent in April 2008 after leaving his former district and district neighbor, Warren Woods School District.

Warren Consolidated was formed in 1942, consolidating North, Warren East, Warren South & William Murthum Schools together - largely forming around Warren High School.

As of 2015 the school district has 15,000 students. Of those students, 3,500 are English learner students, 53% of whom were not born in the United States.

The families of the students speak a total of 52 languages: the most common home languages other than English are (in no particular order of prevalence): Albanian, Arabic, Bengali, Chaldean, Hmong, Polish, Spanish, and Vietnamese.

Warren Consolidated alerts non-English speaking parents of disciplinary issues and emergencies using a "language line" system with interpreters.

Warren Con. operates a Performing Arts Center at Sterling Heights High School that draws students from all schools in the district.

The school district also had the Pre Primary Impaired (PPI) special education preschool program, which more recently had been renamed the Early Educational Child Development (EECD) program, but has since been abolished altogether and supplanted by a Special Education Kindergarten program named "Special K" starting in the 2012-2013 school year.
