Warwick Public Schools Academically have been on a decline since the 90s - the experiment of integration of IEP students into classes with Non-IEP students (in hopes of have positive lift for IEPs due to minimal social separation from age peers) is failing the Non-IEP students, there is measurable performance drag occurring as indicated by the ever falling reading and math scores.

Engaged parents with academically bright students are more than aware of the situation and are making the financial sacrifices to see their students attend schools that are better suited to educating their children for success in the future.

For an investment of 3 to 7 thousand dollars for Students attending grades K-8 at Warwick private schools students are reaching 95% proficiency in above grade level reading and 88% proficiency in above grade level mathematics! There are also fewer in class disruptions and bullying events are isolated with little to no physical altercations. So - a safer environment and better academic education.

High School is a different story with the investment being higher, between 9 and 15 thousand dollars - though there are many scholarships and financial aid available - but the success stories and by order of magnitudes higher that the public schools. Graduation Rates of 99% with 98% attending 4 year colleges with scholarships. The best Advanced Placement courses in the state - a talented student can graduate with between 9 and 14 college credits (nearly a whole semester).

Warwick Public Schools are lucky if they can teach basic math and reading, it is embarrassing that they believe they are preparing children for success and insulting that year after year they ask for more and more money when it is clear that they don't know how to get results from the millions that they are already getting.

Yes - I will admit that private schools is a financial sacrifice that not all parents can make, I will also admit that parents that send their children to private schools are typically more engaged in their children's lives and are consciously looking out for their children's future. But if Warwick wants to lure these smart families/children into their schools they MUST provide a better product than what they are offering today.
