Winfield Middle School

i have had one child complete all 3 years and one in the 8th grade right now (2021). Their over all experience has been wonderful the Principal Mr. Matt Shock is the best I have ever seen he gets completely involved in all activities at the school, he even does spirit week with the kids, attends all football, basketball games. I have never seen another Principal get so involved with his students and school. The teachers are all willing and ready to help the students in any way they can, they want them to succeed. The atmosphere of the school is all around just a wonderful and happy place. I would absolutely recommend this school.

The principal and administration are a detriment to this school. There are several fantastic teachers, but unfortunately, there are also some bitter high-handed teachers who are more worried about punishing than teaching. The administration institutes blanket policies that punish all of the students instead of focusing on the few trouble-makers. They are also inconsistent with their tolerance and punishments for certain rules. They nitpick at everyone, and instruction time is definitely lost due to this practice. I would avoid this school district if at all possible until there are some changes. (2015)
