As a parent who had 3 kids in the Warwick school system and took them out of the school system I think I have a unique perspective on the state of Warwick schools. All 3 of my kids would come home from school and mention how bored they are and because of the inclusion classes the teachers concentrate more on those kids and leave the rest to fend for themselves plus coupled with the work to rule nonsense we knew it was time to seek alternatives.My kids are very bright students at the top of their class so we knew it was time to take action and find a school that will challenge them. Did some research and there are programs out there that allow for parents to put their kids in different schools. Warwick makes it difficult to seek out the information because the city has to pay for it. 2 of my kids go to a public school in a different district and my youngest goes to private school. Sacrifices have to be made but it''s worth it when my youngest comes home with a big smile and recounts all that he learned that day. It''s light years ahead of his counterparts in Warwick public school.

Public Schools in general are not the problem. It''s the Warwick public schools that are. My other 2 are thriving in a different public school system where they feel challenged. Being in a system where the teacher is able to focus on the whole class and not the few has made a difference. All 3 are still at the top of their class. I wish we could have kept them in Warwick but in my opinion Warwick lacks the ability to push kids to do better.
