Please notice that the bad reviews are very old. Our school is aware of the issues that we have had in the past and are working very hard to remedy them. We currently have an excellent principal and caring staff that works hard to provide the services our students need. We are raising test scores and hiring highly qualified staff. We work with several current iniatives in education such as PBIS and PLC. I gave our school three stars now but I believe 4-5 stars are in our future...Good things are coming for Windsor schools!

I am floored by a lot of these poor reviews. For the budget and resources Windsor has they try to accommodate a lot. I had the fortune of having several caring teachers, they may not have been the favorites but they tried to teach their subject matter with high expectations and were more than willing to help their students. Instead of honor courses they offered dual credit classes. They have several athletic opportunities, clubs, and when I was there they were open to allowing more clubs to form. I hope these reviewers are doing more than complaining about the state of the schools and working to help implement the programs they feel are missing or lacking.

I..wow. totally speechless here as I graduated from this school and I was involved in the newspaper, yearbook, as well as the quill and scroll society. I enjoyed all of my teachers and everyone in my graduating class was treated with respect and understanding by the faculty. My teachers, especially Melissa Grant, had a huge impact on my life and always coached me to keep reaching for the stars.

This school is bad and is getting worse. The school teaches to the level of the slowest kids in class. Kids are not challenged to excel and the few good teachers there are disgruntled. There are limited extra curicular activities, and no honors classes. We move alot for work and have had children in 4 different schools. This is the worst school I have ever seen hands down.

There was a day families moved to Windsor for the schools. That is long gone. The faculty of Windsor school are died in the wool bureaucratic types who care nothing for the children. Don't bring your children here is you can avoid it.

I think this school is one of the most worst schools my child has EVER been to. The teachers judge the students way too much. They are rude and unkind people. They also do not know how to handle children correctly.
