Some teachers are wonderful and some simply do not teach. I was in the international baccalaureate program however, however, I do not believe that all the IB teachers were adequate for the job. Some did not prepare us fully for the final exams. However, I am glad that this program is a part of this school.

I loved going to Winter Springs I just graduated this past May 2024 and was part of te IB program and graduated with my IB diploma. I loved the principle Mr. Gaffmney and overall the entire administration team who were always super helpful and willing to listen to any concerns on campus. However, I noticed that as an Ib student, I felt the level of education I was receiving was much higher than that of my peers.

Excellent so far. Staff and teachers seem to really care about students. The guidance staff can tend to be a little stiff, not very approachable.
