Warsaw Community Schools provide a great opportunity for local students to pursue their academic interests. From STEM, dual credit AP courses, career center options, and providing dual language schools to incredible technology, it's a great opportunity with what seems to be endless options. The staff is second to none and definitely has the best interest of the students. We are fortunate to have two WCS graduates and another one to be added in 2025.

I attended Warsaw Community Schools from K-12 and now I have two children who attend WCS. It has been really neat to see how the school system has improved in the last 25 years. I really appreciate the passion the leadership within our school system has and truly feel they have the best intentions for our community. My oldest child will be graduating this year and has chosen the Nursing pathway. She will graduate as a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant and will have 12.5 dual credit hours that will transfer to college. There is an opportunity for every type of student at WCS. There are major improvements being made at the Warsaw Area Career Center (WACC) for cosmetology, automotive, welding and preparing students who would like to enter the orthopaedic industry. I have also had to reach out to principals at the elementary, middle school and high school levels for assistance and they always addressed my concerns in a timely manner. I highly recommend WCS.

This school has a lot of students and is very overwhelming and is hard to make friends and don`t give you enough time to go to class to class especially if your classroom is downstairs and you`re trying to get to your other class which is upstairs and all the way on the other side of the school is a very big school lunches are very overwhelming

Warsaw is a phenomenal high school. My children have been (are) being very well prepared for college. Each of my children that have attended WCHS ranked in the top 10% of their class with three of them in the top 10-15 in their class. While not a perfect school- it is a special place for the students to get an excellent education

This school is good, however they discontinued the Latin program, essentially screwing thousands of future students out of a wonderful program which provides scholarships, national recognition, and knowledge. Until they create a new Latin program, I would recommend staying out of this school district.
