The RI association of school committees keeps track of this data. http://www.ri-asc.org/

GoLocalProv did an article in 2011 comparing RI schools, here:

http://www.golocalprov.com/news/the-most-expensive-teacher-contracts/

At the bottom of the article, it shows the top step salaries but not anything else. I do not know if we start lower or higher than other districts. According to the list for 2011, there are 26 cities that have a lower top step salary. 15 of these are within $1500 or so of Warwick. The only cities that are much lower are Burriville but teachers pay 0 co-pay, East Providence who went to court when they were in financial trouble and they are still waiting for a court decision that could reverse everything and possibly bankrupt them, Little Compton (I don't know anything of them), Situate, Tiverton, and Woonsocket, also $10 million deficit. This information is from 2011. It is possible the Association of School Committees has more up to date info. www.rikidscount.com is also a good reference for information.
