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. Discipline is nonexistent at WC. The teachers beg administrators to remove a disruptive and harmful student from the class and they get ignored. The academics are mediocre at best, which is sad because spent millions on facilities but only use them to 10% potential. Since they micromanage the teachers instead of letting them do their jobs, it’s no wonder their test scores are deplorable. And if you have An Asperger’s kid or other high functioning Autistic child, seek life elsewhere! They will constantly bully you into medicating your kid and if you don’t they will push them over to the Renaissance School.

The opportunities available to students is amazing. Fine arts, engineering, robotics, STEM, nursing, broadcasting, industrial arts... they offer it all, with a staff that truly cares about the students.The bad reputation is only fueled by the small percentage of students that dont care. A vast percentage of the student body wants to learn, are decent kids, and are there to take full advantage of the amazing opportunity they have presented to them.The idea that some schools have no issues is wrong. All schools have problems. It is a matter of perception and how well it can be controlled.Give WCHS a chance and your students will excel at their chosen concentration.

This school has a tremendous amount of activities to meet its very diverse student body. The Performing Arts program not only teaches the students to become great performers, but they also teach their students to become great humans and members of society. My own children attended this school and I was proud of the education and experiences that they received.

I teach students with disabilities and the way that the students embrace others with limitations is remarkable. The students and staff at Warren find a way to make opportunities available for those that may not otherwise have them. I am proud to say that I work at Warren Central!

The Warren Central student body holds an immense amount of pride in their school. The students are positive, encouraging, and strive to be the best. From a teacher's perspective, this is a large school with an incredible amount of talent in the arts, academics, and athletics. As teachers, it is our goal to instill outlooks of positivism for our students no matter what challenges they may face. Anyone should be proud to call them-self a Warrior.

The Just Say No/SADD club is very involved at Warren Central. We have 153 members and hold a meeting each month. We take a lot of pride in bringing the message to our student body to make good decisions. We have a campaign for drugs usage, underage drinking, texting while driving and the importance of seat belts. We have a student who serves on the state Student Leadership Council for SADD. We also have an activity each month to keep the students excited about the club. Our club has been awarded several grants and awards in the past few years.

MSD Warren Township, in Indianapolis, Indiana, is an amazing place. The administration and staff are wonderful and caring and give all they have for the betterment of our students and our community. The students have so much drive, talent, and ambition that success in all areas is common and expected! I'm proud to be a very tiny part of it.

Like all large urban schools, we have our share of problems. However, I truly believe that we many more successes than problems. From our athletic teams to our speech team to our performing arts program, we at Warren Central constantly strive to put our "best foot forward." There are also the many, many small successes each day - from the student who at last understands the new concept to the students who are achieving above and beyond expectations, the WC staff and student body works diligently to help everyone.

This school has many teachers who don't seem to understand what a teacher should do, and everyone seems to do what they want, and not in a good way. Kids talking about drugs here and there, pregnant girls over there, some other kids fighting. Not much at this school for success. Only way to try and achieve success is to ignore everyone around you.
