Great academics...but really run like a private school. Money always being asked of parents. Too many strains put on teachers and very high expectations of students. Parents feel entitled to anything they want, and it gets frustrating. It's hard for some of the kids to keep up, and forget it if your one of them and can't afford a tutor. It's not your typical neighborhood school...kind of unfair. Parents love it because they feel like since the can afford the affluent area they are getting private school for almost nothing. Some teachers have been there too long. Test scores are a high priority, but not just here...it's all public schools!
I have spoken to MANY - COUNTLESS- parents of graduates, and they ALL say that at both Emerson and Paul Revere, the top students are from Warner. Whereas all other students (and their parents) are complaining about too much work, Warner graduates have NO complaints. This includes the HONOR programs!!!! Warner REALLY preps the students for the future!!!
This is a great school. Incredibly involved parents donate significant sums to provide additional teachers, art, music, science, etc. Half-dozen field trips/year. We switched to Warner from a private school and are very pleased. The academics are rigorous at Warner, by the way. Its definitely on par with the vast majority of private schools --- I knew that from the fact Warner kids transfer easily into elite private schools but seeing it first hand, its pretty impressive what the kids are studying there. The only downsides to Warner are really beyond anybody's control there, as far as administration, teachers, parents go. The classes are larger than many private schools and its a big school (5 classes per grade). The facilities don't look like John Thomas Dye, of course, but really they have everything they need and its kept clean. The new principal is great, so far, in my opinion.
Incredible!! We switched to Warner from a private school and feel like we are still in a private school. The teachers are amazing!!! The PTA are so involved. This school has such a community feel to it, rare in Los Angeles!
