Winecoff Elementary School

I finally gave up on this school and moved my son to a new one.

Winecoff has a caring and dedicated staff. The staff members are very friendly and welcoming. My child's teacher and assistant were awesome! They helped my child stay focused and provided extra help when needed.

Seems to me the issue with this school is they don't care. If it doesn't affect their money, their score so what. I am tired of dealing with repeated issues in the classroom, on the bus, etc. Some of the teacher's care but seem powerless as to what to do. Some just don't care. However, I see it as a growing problem of our country but that's a whole other review...

I think it is important to post because I agree that there is absolutely zero encouragement given to my kids . They are new to the school and there has been nothing but negative feedback from the front office to the teachers....I have no help with my son's situation the teachers obviously don't communicate with eachother and almost evrybody looks frustrated not a good example for our kids...This is truly sad

I think this school is an absolute joke! They care more about how much money they raise and not enough about our children as individuals. They only care about their 'score' as a school and not about the children as individuals. There is absolutely no possitive encouragement. They only foucus on catching the kids bad behavior and not enough focus on their good behavior. They have completely demolished my childs self esteem and spirit. I had to remove him from that school before they did any more damage to him.

This school is awful. They dont encourage our children to grow possitivly and they squash their self-esteem.

This is my son's second year at this school and I hate it!!!!! The administration staff seems ignorant to what the teachers are doing. They have no concern for parent input, and when you ask anyone there a simple question it takes two people to give you an answer. I will say that everyone there is nice and polite, they just do not have it together.

My son just started at Winecoff, and couldnt love it more. They have afterschool homework help (new this year), new facilities, and my son is thriving! They even have a short person kitchen to teach them basic cooking skills, and a special classroom just for mentally and physically disabled students. The teachers are great, and communicate daily in his notebook with us. I feel involved, and he is stimulated. They are tested to find out the best way to teach them, and grouped accordingly. This is an incredable school!

I have a grandson that requires some help with his school work. The parents are willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish that. However all they are told is that the school is conducting test that will take the rest of the year to complete. They want to know now for fear that he may have to repeat this year. I can't believe that there is no after school program for a child to receive extra help other than seeing to it that his homework is being completed.The parents received a letter stating the child is doing well but that he may have to repeat this year. This makes no sense to me.I believe better communications is needed.
