My daughter is a freshman at Warren Township High School. Even before she started her first day, the school was involved with making her high school experience the best it could be. The principal at the Almod campus id GREAT and you can tell that he truely cares about the children in the school. They encourage the parents to be involved in thier childs education. The teachers are really good with communicating with the parents and keep you well informed of your childs progress, especially when there is a problem that can be addressed before it becomes a detriment in thier performance. For the number of students enrolled at the school, you would expect they would be too busy too busy, but that is definately not the case at Warren. It truely is a great school, with caring staff and educators, and they provide a top quality educational experience.
I'm a junior at Warren and I've gone here all three years.Yeah, it has its flaws. For example, it's so big. For some students its overwhelming, but its size enables students to have opportunities that smaller schools just can't provide. And even though Warren is so large, students don't have to get lost in the crowds. One merely needs to take initiative. You want extra help from a teacher? You merely need to seek them out, they won't come to you. The teachers are of quality and there are many opportunites given where students can take the opportunity to get extra help. And because Warren is so big, we have colleges visiting from around the country to court students, and it is easy to be able to speak with, and get info from, someone from a college in California, New York, or Texas. Many AP courses are offered, there's even one for freshmen, which is really helpful later on, and economical. The fine arts programs are awesome, and the sports are plentiful. Yes, there are issues, espcially at the O'Plaine Campus. But no school is perfect, and things definetly improve as students mature and move to Almond Campus.
You know I have never walked one step in this high school, but I am contemplating moving to Gurnee. Thanks to all the selfish parents and students that have their two bit opinions about the most minor issues, and then you read it and are not sure what to make out of it. My goodness can people complain. I guess it's your God given right, but the glass is not always half full. Their facilities are too nice! Not enough emphasis on sports, too much emphasis on sports. The floors are clean, no they aren't.. Lord.. Get a grip!! I give it a 5 just to balance out some of the stupidity!
i was a a student at warren, it does have really good education but the racism is incrediably higghh the teachers and and the staff willl always favor the whites I WILL NEVER EVER SEND MY CHILDREN HERE !!!! so they can get mentally and emotianally damaged? NO THANKS!
i am currently a junior at warren township high school i love the school and all that it has to offer the teachers are great and really interact with each and every student and are more than happy to stay with you after school if you need extra help also the environment is great
I've been impressed by the interaction and support my daughter has received from the administration and faculty.
I am a Senior at warren, it is nothing like libertyville i have a varsity athlete and sports are not the top priorit. last year seniors had a senority in the school, this year nothing at all. At the main football events, we cant even black out or white out because its against school ruled which is crap. If i were a parents id sent my chile to libertyville,vernon hills, carmel they are all better then warren
I am a sophomore at Warren currently. I am an all honors/Ap level student (who does well in the classes as well) who is currently in two sports and the top band. I love Warren. The honors program is high level, many students accumulate large scholarships. There are so many things you can be involved in from music, to sports intramural and competitive, clubs(most where anyone is in) and voulenteer programs. There is a place for everyone. There is a good diversity of teachers and teaching styles that is a good mix and preparation for further education. I like almost all of my teachers. One of the challenges Warren faces is the diversity, there is no way around it. It is very difficult to cater to all types of attitudes and people to succeed academically. The plus side is it best exposes everyone to learn to interact and except diversity.
I am an actual student of Warren and it is a great school. I feel totally safe when I am there. Warren has a great atmosphere and great teachers and staff.
I am begining my sophmore year at Warren in the fall and I have been very pleased with everything that it has to offer. The population is indeed large but to succeed in extracuricular activities is not that hard. There are so many activities to choose from it would please even the pickiest student. I love all my teachers and if you try your best you will go far through Warren. 'It all starts here.'
