Compared to nearby schools, Warren Central High School generally underperforms Warren East High School in academic metrics, but has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and a slightly lower student-teacher ratio. Other nearby schools, such as GEO International High School, Beacon Academy, and Lighthouse Academy, tend to have lower academic performance and higher rates of free/reduced-price lunch recipients compared to Warren East High School. The school's higher chronic absenteeism rates and socioeconomic factors may be areas that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve overall student outcomes.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Thursday, September 24, 2015

The students here are completely undisciplined and the administration REFUSES to do anything about it. They blame the teachers and fire them, but it is not their fault that these kids are demonic and repulsive in their actions. Close Quote
