I go to Ware High School, and I have been to Ware schools my entire life. I can't say anything negative about other schools, but I can say positive things about Ware Schools. Some people posted on earlier dates that the teachers do not care about the students, do not know the subject matter, are disrepsectful

They all care about the students, regardless if you feel that way. My mother is a teacher in this district, and I have known most of the teachers in the district for a long time. They all care, they all know the subject matter, and none of them show disrespect towards students. So before you point fingers, make sure your hands are clean. Read less

I must say that I am very disturbed by what some people are saying. I went to school and had most of the teachers that teach at Ware High School. Every teacher that is there puts 110 % into every child. It is the parents and teachers responsiblity for each child to succeed in school. I had a ligitimate

If you have a problem with the school system write to your state officials because they give teachers more and more rules and less creativity when it comes to learning. I give the school and A+.

I would definetly have to agree with the May 2005 entry. Teachers in the Ware School System have very little regard for their students. Another problem, they seem to discriminate somewhat too. If your child comes from a well rounded loving family with parents that care, they seem to think it is the
