Winton Woods High School

Winton woods is a good school, it's just way students act. It's mostly an all black school, and some call it gehtto. Not all of them act out but a majority do.

I am a student attending winton woods high school, and all I see is differences and racial boundary and conflict between student, and racial profiling against student from teachers. They try to pry money and funds out of students and parents by using madatory trips and uniforms, (which is a joke might i add) then the funding is wasted on its sports programs, instead of academic curriculum and the arts. If theres any smart decision a student or parent could make; its not going to this school. I am so glad i switched to Scarlet Oaks.

I graduated from Winton Woods High School just last year (2010), and it is not taking on the mold of the typical urban community school. I attend Miami University in Oxford, OH, and I am an education major, and I'm concentrating on schools with an urban setting. For those who think WWHS is "Urban", would you please tell me your definition of "urban" so I can easily inform you of your ignorance? I graduated at the top of my class, and there is a strong emphasis in academics, extra-curriculars, and community service at WWHS. They want to cultivate a world class education by making well-rounded students. academic talents are great, yes, but WWHS tries to bring out the best in everyone, not just their book smarts, because that's what makes people stand out. Being just a bookworm isn't all that excites colleges. They want to see the GPA and the extra activities. It makes you looked like a balanced, model student, and this is what WWHS staff try to promote every single day with all of their students. Get your head out of the clouds people!! Don't try and defame the reputation of Winton Woods because the students are told to explore ALL their interests and encouraged to BE THEMSELVES!

When I graduated in '01, the school had a lot of problems, but nowhere near the disorder which exists now. I do feel I received a good education, and I did well in college as a result. However, the school is beginning to fit that mold of the urban public school with problems it has tried to distance itself from. There is too much emphasis on specific athletics, and not so much the arts, in which there exists great choral, band and dramatic programs. Parents are not being listened to, and many of them are teachers in the district. I fear the future of this school, big time.
