Excellent school. Safety is a high priority and has never been a concern. More parking needed. Traffic flow needs improvement.

This school is like Instagram. It's gorgeous. When you look at it, the campus is beautiful. The curriculum is "amazing" (I don't know, they blew me away on the tour). The special activities sound so good (Dream Lab, Dance, etc). But on the inside, it's a very very different story. Just like you don't know what is going on behind the scenes on social media, boy oh boy do parents have NO idea what is happening to their kids at this school. This has been such a nightmare I don't even know where to begin but I only have 475 characters left so I better get on with it. The education is worse than public. Fact. Compare your kid's reading/math level to anyone at a decent school district. They will be behind, unless you get a tutor (read Google reviews). If you go to the Windermere Library on a weekday, low and behold all their students getting tutored. Teachers are partial. They lie A LOT. Trust your kids when they tell you something here. It's TRUE. Only go here if you care to look rich.

My children have been attending for the past 5 years. The positive culture and passionate teachers have made such a positive impact in my children's growth in all aspects of education-academic, confidence, leadership and independence. I cannot say enough of WPS and how happy we are at the school.

The worst school ever… it’s all about money. They will try to get more money and they don’t care about your feelings. They will charge you to get in and they will send you another bill if you need to get out. Be careful!!!!

We were expats in Asia and Europe and moved to Orlando last year after moving around our son his whole life to different countries, but always following the IB curriculum when we could. We were a little worried about re-entry to the US, but WPS has been perfect for our son. All his teachers have bee...
