WARWICK VALLEY CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT - New York School District

About School District: Warwick is an historic town located 55 miles north of New York City in Orange County, New York.While Warwick is a rapidly growing community — it has a population of over 30,000 — much of its rural charm and character remains. Dairy farming, which once dominated the landscape, no longer occupies its former position of preeminence. Farming, dairy, produce and orchards are still important, but now a significant portion of residents commute to work in New York City and/or its nearby environs. The Town of Warwick spans 104 square miles and includes three villages (Florida, Greenwood Lake, and Warwick) and five hamlets (Amity, Bellvale, Edenville, New Milford and Pine Island). The black dirt region of Pine Island and Florida produce 25 percent of the nation's onion crop as well as organic vegetables, sod, and flower crops. The region, formed about 12,000 years ago by a glacial lake, was cleared by Polish and German immigrants in the 1880s. Many of their descendants still live and work the farms there today.Warwick’s natural beauty is found not just in its rich farmland, but in its lakes, mountains and scenic country roads as well. The town borders Vernon, N.J. to the south and the "arts & crafts village" of Sugar Loaf to the north. Outdoor life includes hiking, golfing, skiing, boating, fishing, cycling and much more. There are farmers’ markets, wineries, antiques and crafts dotted throughout the town, and Warwick hosts the annual “Applefest” each October in celebration of the local apple harvest.Warwick Valley is a great community, supported by great schools. The school district is proud to serve our residents with an instructional program that guides our children to success, and benefits all who have chosen to make their homes here.
