We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Winnetonka has a very advanced academic selection for students looking to go above and beyond. There are many options that Winnetonka has to offer for their students interests, and future plans. My school has helped me prepare for college, and study for my future career. Some bad experiences I've encountered is the big amount of fights that occur in the halls, and how some teachers have treated me throughout my time here. I would say my school has one of the worst security and safety.

My best parts of high school was the athletics department all the coaches made you feel like you were really apart of something and made you feel like family. I will never regret going to Winnetonka!

This is definitely not the school to send your athlete to. They have repeatedly hired the same coach for football for 3 years while the football team has lost nearly every single game for 3 years. there athletics department is garbage the students want to participate the families want to participate...

Some of the teachers act like they would rather be working a fast food job than working here. Som expect so much from every single student when In reality, not every student learns the same speed. Some teachers give out so much work and get mad when something isn’t done in time.
