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 has been a great school to push me academically, however it has small issues with always creating the safest and best possible school environment.

The school is great for walk-in career courses that prepare you for future readiness. I wish the school provided after-school transportation for students who want to join a sport/club but don't have transportation.

All of my children attended Warren Township schools and they all did well and attended universities afterwards. They were also heavily involved in sports. All coaches (but one) were excellent leaders.They had good teachers (some were great) and student accountability.

I went to Warren Schools my entire life. There are many wonderful teachers, bus drivers, and support staff there, it’s a shame the administrators and school board NEVER support them. Students who are disrespectful, disruptive, and violent are right back in class or right back on the bus the next day...
