- At any given school if you invite parents to take a workshop on how to get the students into college you may have 20-30 parents come, but Warren has over 400 parents taking the Parent Institute course . . . this can only improve a school with so many parents actively involved! Congrats to WHS

(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This School Isn't As A Great As It Seems ! I Currently Attend This School And It Sucks People Smoke Behind The Classes And Ditch In Bathrooms, Security Doesn't Do Their Jobs, Students Talk All Period And Don't Let The People Wanting To Succeed In Life Learn The Material;Teachers Don't Do Anything About Those Students, This School Doesn't Have Extra Programs To Help Students In What They Want To Become And All Downey Schools Are The Same. So If You Would Like Your Student To Succeed I Recommend Not Letting Them Attend This School.
