Margaret Winn Holt Elementary School

My daughter's teacher was Ms. Vinson. Regrettably I had to move but Ms. Vinson was the single most important contributor to my daughter's reading increasing 9 levels. She's an awesome teacher.

My daughter goes to this school and they do a lot to get parents involved. Her teachers have always kept me in the loop with what is going on with my child and to education her beyond her expectations.

I love the school! My son has been treated as an individual and with great care. There is no other school I would rather have him attend.

I have been so impressed by the whole school and staff at Winn Holt Elementary! We are new to the area, and have been very happy with the welcoming response we've received. I want to personally recognize Mr. Landtroop for his outstanding work with his students! He even attended our son's basketball game on a Saturday!

I have 2 children at this school: one typical, one special needs. Both have been there since it opened. It started as a pleasant, inviting, caring school. As the student population has exploded and diversified, those intial qualities have deteriorated.

Winn Holt has been a great transition from coming from private school. Last year was our first year and we had a wonderful teacher who went above and beyound. I'm hoping for even a better year this year. I like the fact that my child can be challenged and have fun doing it in the think lab. My only regret was they had pricipal breakfast for the first three nine weeks for students who made all A's but failed to have reconization for students who had all A's for the entire school year. So I'm hoping this year there will be awards day for those students who have excelled through out the year because this will help with encouraging students to be champions throughout the year and to reward them at the end for their accomplishments.

Winn Holt has been an excellent school because of the wonderful leadership of our principal,who by the way is a Principal of the Year. The diversity is the same all over gwinnett and is adressed the best way most Gwinnett schools can address it. We have a wonderful middle school, Richard's middle, who also has a Principal of the year, Judy Stephens. We have had wonderful experiences at both school and just the same at Central Gwinnett. Please continue to focus on the Principals, teachers and staff at our Central Cluster schools. They are superior schools. Central is voted 681 out of 1300 high schools across the nation.We have a wonderful school system dealing with the amazing growth as best as a school system can. I will take the hometown feel of this area over the high schools in Gw. reaching and 4,000 students in one high school!

Last year was my daughter's first year at Winn Holt. She was home schooled for kindergarten, and she attended a free-form private school for first grade. We were more than a little anxious about her entering public school for her 2nd grade year, but we are pleased with Winn Holt. She is an advanced reader, and her teacher (we couldn't have asked for a better one!) made many adjustments for my daughter to keep her challenged in that area. The staff is incredible. The level of communication between educators and parents is impressive, and the PTA at the school is thriving. The school has a rotating weekly schedule of 'specials' classes for music, art, computer, special maths, P.E. and inquiries. All in all, we are very happy with the education our daughter is receiving at Winn Holt, and we're looking forward to the new school year!

It is my daughter's second year in this school now and she has been so happy and nurtured by the staff and teachers. It is a big school yet small enough that every staff has touched a child's memory of the school. I relocated from California and had to adjust to the GA school system as I very much like it in California. After I think the school is doing great compared to other schools in the city. I wish they do more advanced subjects as elective courses for those that are advanced and not being held back by students that are below average.
