Warren/Prescott K-8 School

  • Parents considering a safe and effective school need not look further than the Warren/Prescott School K-8 School. The school is housed in two buildings: the Lower School is at 50 School Street and the Upper School across the way at 8 Pearl Street. 

    We are a small school with a family atmosphere. Teachers, parents, and others who make up the school community form a strong team with a proven record. Staff members have advanced training and many years of experience; and our parents are welcome visitors and active participants in their children's educational experience.

    We address the needs of all students by providing instructional support for students in need and additional challenges for advanced students. Teachers work collaboratively in teams to assess data, plan for and deliver specialized instruction, and provide interventions when needed.
    Because research shows that more instructional time improves academic progress, we have expanded our before and after school programs every year.

    What makes our school special:

    • A small school with a family atmosphere
    • Experienced teaching staff: 90% have or are working toward a Master’s degree in their specialty
    • Tutoring provided by local community agencies
    • Big Brother and Big Sister programs
    • Extended learning time two days per week for grades 6-8; instruction includes introductory Latin, instrumental music, music theory, visual art, theater, soccer and academic support
