Winston School is a wonderful school for children with learning differences. The personalized attention from the faculty gives students the hands on help they need to succeed. Great school and definately worth the cost of the education.

The Winston School teachers and adminstrators really put the students first. It is very obvious that the staff care about the students and families each and every day! The school has undergone some wonderful changes in technology, course offerings, adding the options of Academy level programs within the Upper School and the band!!! Kudos to the teachers and leaders for embracing change and offering students so many options.

The faculty and administrators of Winston have impressed me by the time, planning, and consideration that go into educating their learning different students. It is a challenge to help these bright kids learn the best way to absorb and process information, and to learn to advocate for themselves; Winston is meeting that challenge. And the roster of colleges and universities who accept Winston graduates is quite impressive! Yet there is that personal, small school atmosphere that makes Winston a real community. It has been, and continues to be, an educational haven for learning different students and their families.

school is not well worth it's price. Horrible school, huge waste of money, big mistake if you are looking into this school. Let me warn you the administration are very hypercritical and two faced. My son once over heard them talking about students and not saying very nice things. This school is a joke they do not live up to the standards they say they would upon admission. I should also mention the education there is a joke. My son found that he was far behind from public schools work because there education is not up to date or relevant to modern society. I'm not sure how any student who attends this school could make it in college(as well as life for that matter) with they're taught education. You would think when paying top dollar for a school they wouldn't allow cell phones. That's not the case here because they allow cell phones during class and listen to iPods/mp3 players. I don't see how this contributes to education as well. The Winston school makes everything look good on paper and they're website but you are in for a big surprise if you send your child here!

the school may have been a special place in the past, but today winston doesn't match it's premium cost. the administration in the lower school hires mediocre teachers with high degree of turnover. class sizes are small, but a liberal attitude allows inappropriate material for the grade level. when parents raise concerns on important issues, administration give lip service until pressed.

this school has been a terrible influence on my son, with all the bad students there, they have taught my son some very bad things. it was officially the worst school i have ever seen or heard of. i do not recommend this school to anyone.

While no school is perfect, Winston is pretty close. My learning differenced son started Winston in 8th grade after many bad experiences in public school. Since coming to Winston, I've seen him grow academically and in confidence. I have to believe this is because the staff is dedicated not only to education, but to nuturing the kid's spirits. Thank you so much for all you all do.

The Winston School has proven to be the best choice I could have made as a parent. My daughter has excelled in terms that I never thought possible. Winston teachers are very professional and caring people. Winston is a place that offers our students ways to learn differently and a chance to succeed where other schools cannot. My child will be ready to attend a 4 year institution of higher learning when she graduates in May. She received a solid foundation to build upon. I cannot thank the staff and faculty of the Winston School.
