Overall this school is pretty average. You get an education and nothing special really. The 8th grade core teachers are super nice, the ones I got anyway. The admin's are about average sometimes they favor some who shouldn't be favored over other kids just because of certain reasons. I have never had to deal with them so I can't really speak with experience but this school is just about average. You will get and education and not a whole lot extra. School lunch is free so that is helpful and the kids are generally well behaved. In past years the kids were obnoxious but that has seems to be dying down as time turns. (I am currently in 8th grade)

AMAZING SCHOOL !!! My daughter is graduating this year, and we are so happy about all these past years. She was loved and respected during all 5 years she studied at this amazing school. :)

As a sophomore at this high school, I have had a pretty good overall experience thus far. The environment is pleasant and clean, and most of the staff is "chill" and friendly. It's worth mentioning that the principal, Andrew Leftakis, is one of the coolest I've met. He interacts with the students a lot and brings positive energy to the school.Regarding my ratings, I've given careful consideration to each category. When it comes to learning, there will always be students who aren't interested or engaged. However, I've met a handful of students in this school who are dedicated to learning and are performing exceptionally well academically. While I cannot speak for the rest of the student body, my experience with students in advanced classes has been positive.Regarding teaching, I can only speak to my experience with the core class teachers. In my two years at this school, all of my core class teachers have been enthusiastic about teaching and have shown a genuine interest in their students' success. However, this hasn't always been the case with elective classes, which is why I gave the "Teaching" score less than perfect. Because elective classes are considered less important than core classes, I've noticed that some teachers don't seem to care as much. They're still respectful and friendly, but they don't have the same level of investment in the class. Whether this is good or bad is up to personal interpretation.In terms of social-emotional support, I don't have any personal experience with this. However, I've heard positive feedback from friends and my significant other about the supportive counselors and staff at the SAFE (Student Assistance and Family Empowerment) office. The students themselves also deserve recognition for being supportive and helpful, especially in clubs designed to provide support.When it comes to special education, this school does an excellent job of assisting students with disabilities. They offer a range of fun and engaging activities and programs for these students.I feel safe at this school. Commotions are rare; the school has a good safety record.Finally, Windermere High School places a strong emphasis on involving parents in their students' academic life. Parents have access to their child's Canvas account, where all assignments are posted, as well as their grade book. In addition, the school provides support to families who may be struggling financially, including the provision of free lunch to eligible students.
