Warren High School is an amazing school. My son attends the Construction Carreers Academy. The teachers work hard to make sure students who want to succeed are given the oppurtunity. He thrives at this school and its diversity adds character to his realization about life.

Warren is a very unique school. Lots of parental involvement. I am actually kind of surprised at the rating, I expected 8 or 9. The atmosphere is a little more like a private school just because of how involved everyone is. It's diverse in every way, with wealthy kids from Westover Hills and lower-income kids from other parts, yet everyone seems to be equal at Warren, with the same opportunities and you can tell how driven all of the kids are. We highly recommend Warren for their band, which is famous in the city: The Purple Pride of Northside, the Academic groups, of course sports, and the dance team. Love this school!

Warren HS is an uber-safe environment with a heart of gold! They have a responsive staff and the most caring teachers in the city! I'm proud to be the parent of 2 Warriors! Warren HS is also a good neighbor, and a welcome local business partner.

It depends on the student, but if someone wants tough coursework, engaging teachers, and interesting lessons, you can find it here. You will need the initiative and work ethic to find those things, but that's just another way to prepare for the future. Academic Decathlon has gone to state 3 years in a row (excellent for a school only 7 years old). Varsity football recently won its first district championship. Athletic teams are very well established here, and the AP program offers nearly all possible advanced courses. If there is one not on a coursecard that you would like to take, the administration is very responsive to students wanting to create an advanced class for themselves. I can understand that it's easier to get lost in the shuffle in a school with 2600 students, but students who try to reach out to teachers will never fall far behind.

Not the worst school, not the best either. There are some very good & caring teachers. There is a rough side to the school, with some students coming from very tough home situations and lacking support or supervision.

Very diverse school. Everyone feels welcomed and is a very good school. Exceptional athletic department. Both basketball teams went to state after 4 years. Many district titles for whole athletic department. Academic Decathlon is great as well as Fine Art Department.

Great school! Great teachers.. Great athletic program & staff..Always responsive...As far as taks- its mandated by govt. The size of school will only prepare those college bound students to be more easily adaptable to the real world!

School administration is more concerned about policy than student welfare. Can't seem to ever reach school staff by phone, voice messages left seem to be ignored. Warren has state-of-the-art technology.

Uncaring teachers and guidance, misguided strictness and 1984 style guidance.

The school is far to big. Students are lost in the crowd. Much to much emphasis on rote learning for the TAKS test and very little learning the 3R's and learning how to research, have creative thinking, etc.
