Currently I am struggling a bit with my opinion of the school. When it comes to bullying I will say they get that handled quickly and effeciently. They get an A+ there. Yes the principles are good. When it comes to the classrooms I struggle... It seems as if they address the well behaved kids and let the problem kids slide. I know the problem kids take more effort and time away from teaching but their continued bad behavior needs to be addressed. On occasion I have tried to talk to our teacher and I am either shut down or forced to deal w/ a snippy attitude. Another issue is homework consisting of handwritten worksheets. In some cases the last part of the question has been omitted from the original copy and at times the handwriting is very difficult to read. Also from what I am reading online our district has 30 kids to every full time teacher, many of the districts around us have 14, 15, or 16 students to every full time teacher. Hopefully as the economy improves this ratiowill too. When my children complain I remind them that each building is only 3 years (excempt HS) then they get to move on as well next year will be a different teacher.

Tons of drugs and bullying overlooked, the school doesn't even care about a student who killed themself last year, tons of kids who need help but cant get help due to a "wait list" lame excuse of a lack of therapist and counselors, there are 2 counselors for the whole student population, nearly impossible to get any help. The school's education is somewhat below all the other schools around it, the science teachers are absolutely horid at their jobs, and also won't help students. The math is okay, the reading levels are barley up to par with everyone else. The history classes are way too easy even in the honors classes.

The cafeteria smells like rotten food and after breakfast it's filthy for basically the rest of the day until after all the lunches pass, they clean it, and it still smells really weird. They do NOT clean everything very good. There are always weird substances on the table and gum under. And I mean a Lot of it. The kids are also extremely chaotic.

I am extremely happy with my child's experience here at Windsor. I especially love the parent/teacher interaction. This is a top notch school that is grounded in traditional education which is very healthy for the development of our kids.
