Winslow Township High School

As a student at the Winslow Township High School I notice that while the teachers show great concern for their students, the administration is downright disappointing they show favoritism to students throughout the school, and you can pass and basically do nothing in class I've got friends that do it all the time. The school was doing fine financially until just recently when you know who was elected. Overall a good school not recommended for a long term education or a competitive college though.

I do admit, this school has a phenominal educational system and the teachers show real concern for the students and try in their best effort to give us a good education and keep us well prepared for college. However, I think that sometimes the faculty are so concerned with enforcing the trivial rules that they forget that this is not why they were hired. They were not hired to enforce rules. They were hired to teach! Winslow, overall is a good school. It is not the faculty and staff that are not doing their part. It is the students who are always doing their part the keep Winslow High in the Courier Post.

I love service learning in the middle school!

I am a student at WTHS currently. I would not want to graduate from any other school in New Jersey, or anywhere else for that matter. Winslow is just like every other school. Parents who have children in other schools dont see the good of Winslow. All the media gets is the bad things. No one sees the good things that come out of Winslow. I have friends who are in college now that graduated from Winslow. Every school has drugs, hitlists, and bomb treats. Look at the school in Virginia that people died at. No one has died at Winslow. We are just like every other school. If you want to down-grade a school, maybe you should know all the facts about them and not just the bad ones. Personally, I have great grades, am in AJROTC, am a cheerleader, plan on going to college, and join the army.

I am a 2007 graduate of Winslow High School. Although Winslow does have its problems, so does every other school. I know of various other schools who have bigger drug problems and bomb threats every week. The hitlist and lockdown was dealt with very well. Parents would have been complaining if the administration had done nothing. The biggest problem Winslow has is lack of parental input. The kids whos parents don't discipline them are the ones who cause the problems. The media has only looked at the bad parts of our school system. The sports and extra curricular activites are phenominal. If you are debating on whether or not to send your kids to Winslow, look a little closer at the good parts, not only the bad. Winslow has taught me alot. I wouldn't have wanted to graduate from any other school.

In my opinion, WTHS is defiantly not one of the best schools in NJ. It is hard to commute from class to class because the school is overly populated for its size, the hallways are always congested. The students aren't any better. The majority of the students are not motivated to do their work and the language and respect towards each other and their teachers is far from friendly. Yes, there are some students that are role-models but they are heavily outnumbered by the bad students. The administration isn't very good either but there are some teachers that I was glad to have that are worth much more than the respect they get from the students. However, the sports and clubs are very good and encouraging to the students, teaching them discipline and encouraging dedication.

I have children in this school district, and I am very disappointed in the leadership. The district administrators and teachers hold the children to a higher standard than they do the adults (themselves). The adults are worst than the students, they do not respect the students, parents, or their co-workers. The administration do not return parent phone calls, many times they do not notify parents of student discipline. These are examples that I have experienced first hand. he administration needs to be held accountable. I am praying that one day they will get their act together and do what they were hired to do, and that is to educate the children.

It is sad to see Winslow suffer in the media and within the community. The stories are that the school is out of control, communication, and low educational expectations. Unfortuantly, all the statements are true. The middle and high school is the worst I have seen in the past five years. The administrator and staff say they want to work with the parents to bring about a change but I will not let it be at the cost of my children recieving inadequate education.
