I like this school for so many reasons. But there are some negatives about it. The school needs to improve on their test scores. It has to be as good as the other Warwick high schools. Although it has been approving, it still has a long way to go. I support this school. Anyone from 8th grade deciding to go to this school or have not decided yet, you should definitely go.
