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.

Warren High in Downey is such a great place to learn and grow. The teachers really care about us, and the campus has a welcoming vibe. We have awesome programs like dual enrollment , athletics, and arts that push us to do our best. The school spirit here is strong, you really feel like part of the family.

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.
