Personally, I have had a good experience with Winder Barrow.YET,the communication between teachers and students is poor and the classrooms tend to be crowded. may even be some bullying (like most schools) though, their is a tremendous amount of school spirit and they at least would like to try and help students
Communication between parents and teachers should be better. Parents are often not aware of problems until it is to late for student. I recommend that they mail parents progress reports or email them when student is doing poorly.
I have to agree with the parent that suggested posting assignments on line. There are several schools that do this, even some colleges post assignments. We have found a few at WB that post assignments and do so faithfully. They are the ones that we have found truly care about their students. I can not say enough good about them. The other teachers should follow in their footsteps. I would also like to see all of the teachers check their emails daily. Parents and teachers need to work together to help the students.
This is a beautiful school and the teachers really do care for the students' futures. There is such a variety in school lunches and the privileges with vending machines are absolutely wonderful!
We are one of the families that would like to see WBHS teachers post assignments on line. Other high schools have done this. This is especially helpful to those that are forgetful or have learning disabilities. Much more beneficial to students than receiving 0's or failing grades for incomplete assignments. Otherwise students can dig themself into a hole they can not dig out of. The objective is for each child to be successful in school. All students are not the same and our community needs to reach out to each stuent and help give them what they need without causing the student to be embarrassed about his or her own needs.
My granddaughter attends Winder-Barrow High School and I am very impressed with the school.

Winder-Barrow is an awesome school! Teachers and administrators really care about the students. Even with construction going on, I feel very safe. I wouldn't think about going anywhere else.
