Winchester

It has been a fair to good experience. We like that it is in the neighborhood and she doesn't need to depend on being bussed.

Wow. What a ride it was. Let me lay down MULTIPLE experiences I am having here currently or have had here previously:*A student — who is of the African American race, please ensure that you remember this — play fought with another African American student, and the both of them were almost formalled, a term meaning to be suspended from school for 60 days. Now, let's take a look at the experiences of the Caucasian students. Two Caucasian boys had play fought, and they received mere lunch detention. *Another student of the African American race had violated the dress code due to wearing crocs, and was given in-school suspension for 3 days. However, another Caucasian student did this and was only given a warning and provided different shoes to change into. Seeing any patterns yet? *One of the last significant race-related events I can recall at the moment is when an African American girl and a Caucasian girl had worn V-neck shirts. The African American girl had been given a stern talking to, whilst the Caucasian girl had not an eye bat her way. How odd, don't you think? It may also be important to note that the Caucasian girl wore V-necks more than any other shirts, so the excuse of "Oh, they didn't see it!" cannot be used in a valid sense. *In a science project, we were instructed to swab out areas of the school and allow it to grow on an enclosed beet. One group selected the cafeteria vents to swab. Days later, after executing this process, the group went over to examine their beet and found that, unlike the other groups that simply grew mold, their beet had grown veins. Looking back upon this event, the fungus grown may have been rhodotus. *One Friday some years ago, a student was caught with a vape hiding in her bra. This led to a chain reaction of the teachers locating a number of between 13 to 16 vapes, all within a 6th grade homeroom of 25. It later came to my attention that there were even MORE students in this single homeroom with vapes, however they managed to hide them better than the others and hadn't gotten ratted out by a peer. There are MANY more events I could converse of, however I am nearly at the character limit and by reading the guidelines, I do not believe it to be possible to submit a second review. So, when choosing a school for your precious child to attend, I hope that you can choose wisely. God, I cannot wait to graduate.

I went here as a kid, Mrs. Vandi is amazing and she definitely don't play when it comes to education. Mr. Wiley the mathmetician is also awsome!

I went to this school from 2013-2018 and I genuinely didn't like it. The students were cruel, and while some of the teachers were nice, most of my experiences were not amazing. I was bullied, pushed away, and eventually had to beg my mom to send me to a different school so I didn't feel like i was the odd one out. If you didn't come from a high end family, or didn't have friends, you were immediately singled out, no matter what your situation was. I can only hope that the school improves with the new principal, but I lost my hope when I left. Don't send your kids here.

My daughter has attended this school now for two years. I am someone who has homeschooled my child in the past and hasn’t always been on board with public school. With that said my daughter has had an incredible experience at this school. She has struggled in the past socially and with acclimating. The teachers and staff have been responsive, helpful, and gracious. The staff has been outstanding and I am very impressed with the security and safety precautions. I 100% recommend this school. As someone who has been wary about the public school system, I have nothing negative to say about Winchester. I am grateful they take such great care and are attentive. The testing has been adequate and what I feel is appropriate for my child. I truly am impressed and content with this school.

This is a very bad school. There was a lot of fights and drama at this school when I was there. In the classroom , kids will be EXTREMELY loud and do bad things. You can't focus in the classroom and the teacher will waste time trying to make them quiet. Also, most classes are like super easy to pass like there was little hard work, in ela we would just read books and answer like super simple questions, and they had only a few tests and quiz and they were super easy to get a good grade on it, and in science I always get full points unless I didn't finish the work. In math it's just copy what the math teacher is writing on the board and zearn and moby max, and a few castle learning not that hard. And in spanish the teacher gives you the answer for all the work and even homework !! Social studies has to be the hardest class but was still not hard! The teacher only gives you grade for tests. The tests you could easily pass. You only had to study for the 4th quarter only but the other quarters you could use your learning activities so it was not really difficult and still 4th quarter test was easy as long as you studied.
