GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

I would like to see more African American teachers in the school. It seems they all leave. I also would like to see better lunch options in the school.

Winder-Barrow is a lovely place to be. Our administration is one of my favorite parts of the school. Our principal is supportive of everyone there and makes it feel very loving. My least favorite part is the roaches. We see 2-3 roaches everyday and I do not appreciate that. I would love it if we could take care of that, but besides the bugs it is a very nice place.

After coming from a nearby district with a Junior and Freshman transferring in October of 2020 to now, we are very impressed. WBHS staff and administration truly cares about our kids. Our kids that were struggling are now thriving. Thank you, WBHS and Barrow County School System.
