I like this school because there security my daughter is very happy

I gave 4 stars based on my daughter's 2 years experience here. She excelled academically, had good teachers & had a wonderful middle school experience w/ her friends. However, in my opinion, Winton needs a new principal that would highlight the schools' academic abilities & their good performing students & just change the school's environment. This school needs more "adult supervision" in handling violence & safety w/ the students by informing the parents of such activities/ police involvement, & with their yearbook. For the past 5 years, I think this school has not improved w/ their test scores, it's still below California standards. Their yearbook 2022-2023 is an embarrassment & not sure how it was approved to be published & distributed to students. It looked like a kid's social media page w/ blurry images. Highlight your students who contribute to the betterment of your school, highlight their talents, skills & academic performance that brings pride to Winton Middle School! And, not put an inappropriate photo of a student front & center that looked like he's licking a finger (in my opinion). It's a page right after all the photos of principal, teachers & staff were. Also, hopefully, they can invest on a better camera for student photographers to use.Your Yearbook should represent everyone, every group or organization at Winton, staff & students. It should give you pride when you look at it. Come on Winton! You can do better than this! Hopefully, this year will be a better year for this school because there are teachers & staff who are doing their job & try to make it right for their students. HUSD need to observe on what's happening to their schools especially at Winton because generally Hayward students are good, smart, talented & skilled. Encourage them & embrace them all, you will see a difference & improvement in our schools here. I wish you all the best!
