I had moved to Winnacunnet high school at the beginning of my sophomore year after attending triton regional high school of byfeild Massachusetts. I had a very hard time making friends while attending triton but Winnacunnet was very inclusive and student life focused. Mr Garcia who was my algebra teacher helped me feel welcomed and appreciated and I will forever be grateful to have had a teacher like him. It's not only me who's life he touched he goes out of his way to make sure every child has food on their table a safe place to live and an all around happy life.

My experience at Winnacunnet was overall great. The worst part was when the pandemic started and we all had to do our work from home. It was unfortunate, but I think the school handled it as best they could have.

Winnacunnet is a great place for almost all students and athletes. Their extracurriculars aren't bad either. Lots of clubs & activities to choose from. The english department is moderate but all others are generally good. I only wish the school had AP calculus BC and AP macro/micro econ.

Winnacunnet isn't that great of a school, but it's not terrible. Barely any of the students actually want to learn, and most only show up because they're already on probation for attendance issues. A lot of the teachers at Winnacunnet pick favorites and treat certain students better than the rest of...
