My time at winsor was the most miserable years of my life. The teachers and administrators did not care about the students at all, and actively made our lives hell. The culture is just a competition on who can be the most miserable. The education is good, but not worth it. Do not go here.

I have to say this school ruined my mental and physical health, my relationship with school, learning and many other things. I can guarantee you that 99% of students at the Winsor school do not want to attend it but their parents will not let them leave. The whole idea of an "all girls school" may sound great at first but it has a negative affect. I don't have any friends who are guys and you can only really meet guys if you are doing a play in the winter or fall and are not doing a sport. The tuition is very high but the quality of teachers does not match it. The stress levels are astronomical and the social life of a Winsor student is extremely underwhelming. The school's face is diversity and inclusion but only when it comes to the main few racial/ethnical categories, if you don't fit into those forget it. Ever since i've gone here my grades, relationships and health has taken a sharp turn downhill. Please, I beg you do not go here and do not send your child here.

It is an amazing school experience. The community is very diverse and everyone celebrates each other. The academics are also really fabulous. The teachers really care about the students and they make it so if you feel the tiniest bit of stress they will really help you out. This school is the top all girls school in the country for a reason.

Horrible school! Lots of mental health issues facilitated by school environment, with no support. Diversity and activism all performative. I was one of the peer ambassadors, and we were given "guidelines" of what to say to incoming students. All scripted- the reality is shocking and sad.

Horrible place, especially if you come from a low income family. I went from 5th to 8th grade, before transferring back to public schools. Mental health issues are extremely common. Bullying and ostracizing is a huge issue, and there's no support from the administration, especially for financial aid...

As a 7-year student at Winsor, I have never felt so safe and loved by an institution, from the faculty to my peers. The other reviews mention cliques as an issue, but that was also true for my friends at other public and private schools -- in my opinion, cliques are more likely an artifact of middle...

There is no perfect school, only fit school. Winsor is no exception. It's a Boston elite private girl school, what do you expect?+s: 1. most of the dedicated teachers. Majority of the teachers (not from the athletic department) are very caring and nurturing. 2. small class size and wonderful academi...
