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.

Most of the teachers genuinely care about the students and their mental health as well as getting them through school.

What I love most about West Warwick is the amount of opportunities given to us, such as clubs, elective classes, and pathway programs. It is a relatively small school with around a thousand students. There are not many options at all for food. Before attending this school, I wish I knew exactly how many credits I need for each area of study (math, science, history, etc.), but those types of questions could easily be answered by a guidance counselor.

I have no idea where WWHS gets such a bad reputation. As someone who has actually GONE through the school system, this system is wonderful. I loved all of the teachers except a very select few in my 12 years. The curriculum was fantastic, the sports were great and the school itself is much nicer tha...
