Whispering Winds Charter School

I thank God for this wonderful school. I enrolled my child in Chiefland Elementary for kindergarten, after 1 day of attendance I quickly transfered him to WWCS ! Our experiences for the last 3 years have been nothing short of exceptional. I have only one regret, that WWCS dosen't go all the way to 12th grade. I would like to thank the entire staff for their dedication and kindness, I feel confident knowing my child is in the safest, most wonderful school I have ever known. Thank you all.

Our families experience with WWCS began with my very physically active son transfering there from a large school in the area. He was able to do well and will graduate from high school with honors this year. Our daughter now attends there and the wonderful thing about WWCS is that they meet the needs of each child individually. She is now in the fourth grade and has been challanged and stimulated by her teacher and the school as a whole. The small classes, rural setting and close relationship with parents enable a positive learning enviroment for each child. I have been very pleased with the school and especially the response to parents concerns and action taken to rectify any problems. We love WWCS!

Wwcs has had my to sons for the last 4 years. I am upset with the direction of how this school is going with a F score. As a result, my son will not be returning this school year. I understand that all schools have good and bad times, but when there is a wide spread problem in the way this school operates, this something has to give. The charter school idea is a great one. Smaller classes are wonderful, as this was approved by the voting public, but when grades begin to fall, we as parents, must decide where to let our young ones continue on with this program or change to something else. Wwcs was once a great school and can be agian if certain changes in staff and curriculum will change. There are very good teachers there but the leadership has something less to be desired.

This is our fifth year at WWCS, and this is a school that cares about the child, and the child's learning style. We feel like a family because of the personal interest that the teachers take in each child and also the parents. I love WWCs, it has made school a place that my kids want to go to everyday.

This school under the direction of George Farrow has been an excellant choice for my daughter. The Kindergarten teacher Ms. Farrow teaches in much the same manner that I would teach if I were in charge. The choice of teachers aids is exceptional. Ms. Tammy Okahargbo took the initiative to actually read the information packet that detailed specifics concerning my daughters disabilities. Informational osmosis wasn't an option for Ms. Tammy. Ms. Delaney has a heart of gold, with the voice of an angel. Her patience is extraordinary. She communicates with both the children and parents with understanding, kindness, and respect. The children are taught to respect the teachers, each other, and themselves. The children are valued in this school. Here these children develop a sense of value and belonging for themselves and one another. As a parent my input is always welcome.
