I do not feel that Deerfield-Windsor adequately prepares students for challenging colleges. I graduated in '07 as an honor student, which gave me a false sense of security, as I am now merely an average student at my university. Deerfield-Windsor focuses too much on athletics, and the nepotism associated

Along with a closed-minded outlook on everything from applying to colleges outside of Georgia to political and religious affiliation, I can't recommend Deerfield-Windsor as a good school. However, it is the best private school in the area, which is tragic. You're better off sending your children to boarding school. Read less

DWS is an awesome school. The faculty is top-notch and extracurricular programs abound. With 100% college placement at top schools, this school is fantastic. I greaduated a few years ago and found the honors program at my top-rated university not very challenging due to the excellent foundation I

I used to attend school in New Orleans, but I had to leave so I came to Deerfield and I think it is a great school. There are great teachers, a wonderful headmaster, and well-behaved students. This school offers the best education a child can have and I would recommend that parents send their children

Grace King had over thirty clubs and during the first week of school the students were coming up with ideas for new clubs. Overall I think that Deerfield is the best school in the county and I hope that we continue to make the grades so that we can stay on top. Read less
