I think the cut to the art program was sad, and I'd like to see more done with that. I also found that some teachers aren't the most emotionally mature.

I think that Windsor High School is overall a good school. I've attended all four years and I don't have much bad to say. The environment is welcoming and there is always an assortment of classes to choose from. I believe that the amount of options available allow for the best learning experiences. I started my first year with some vague idea of what I wanted to do and by the end, I have settled on something that I enjoy that I hadn't thought of previously. Teachers and staff are friendly and it has been an overall good school. I have enjoyed my time here.

Windsor High School has OK students, but the bigger issues regarding the schools are toward the staff. Especially the office staff. They often refuse to help students, and are rude to parents. Most of the teachers are good, though, and they either care for their students or they are very proficient at what they teach.

There are core's which allow students to explore different professions more in depth and allow the students to see first hand careers in that field. The staff are very helpful.
