GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Warwick High School is a good choice ONLY if you are looking into the biomedical innovation program, or intend to be in the International Baccalaureate program.

Even though my in person high school career was cut short due to covid I still found ways to participate in my schools activity's. While most of the staff are helpful, kind, and always there for you there are some staff who just do not care to help. I would think to see better communication between students, teachers, and staff as there is a lot of miscommunication between everyone.
