As a function of spending $18,000 per pupil, Warwick's public high school students have attained the following:
1. 52.9% do not meet basic literacy expectations.
2. 71% (71%!!) do not meet basic math expectations.
Warwick continues to churn out a disproportionate number of semi-literate, frequently unemployable students in need of remedial instruction prior to entering even community college. This is not the fault of the test, but rather a reality that has been developing in the Warwick public schools for the better part of two decades. The few well-educated married couples who do move to Warwick do not send their children within a mile of the public high schools, resulting in a shrinking pie of low achievers taught by entitled unionists that embrace mediocrity. Of course, there are exceptions. But not many.
