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.

My experience at Warren High School was overall good. The teachers I had were helpful and encouraged me to do my best, and to aim for higher. The only bad part about my experience was that some of my teachers would not actually teach. One teacher would explain for 10 minutes and give us piles of work, when we tried asking questions he told us that he was busy or would just repeat the same stuff he said in the beginning of class. The other teacher would play us videos about the topic and give us work, we weren't able to ask her questions because she would not know how to answer them.

Throughout my time at Warren High School, I have found that the school faculty have put students first through their focus on bringing students into pathways that can provide for them for a lifetime. The best part of my experience at Warren is the Engineering and Manufacturing classes I'm able to take. The only negative about my experience would be the lack of options for school lunch. I would love to see more focus in on electives that can be taken as a career path down into the future.

Great school. Most teachers are passionate about what they teach and open to have office hours. Although some aren't the best people, personality-wise.

The Counselors are a joke and not helpful at all. They let their "teacher of the year" leave without a fight. Administration pass the buck and are weak at best. Pulling our girl out! One year was too much.
