This School’s Reviews

4.0 Alum

6/27/2023

It's a good environment, feels like a tight community at sports games and school activities. I'd like to see a little more entire school involvement.

4.0 Sophomore

5/11/2020

My experience at Winthrop High School has been a fairly good one. I have felt as though I am getting a solid education. I have had a few questionable teachers, but for every teacher I don't love there is an amazing one who cares deeply for their students. The students at WHS do tend to be cliquey due to the fact that they have known eachother since birth and half of them are related, which can make it difficult for new or transfer students. Though I am not at all a fan of Winthrop Middle School, if you can make it past the three years you spend there, WHS will provide you with a great education.

5.0 Senior

3/27/2020

the four years I have spent at WHS have been some of the best. I enjoyed almost every part of attending this school. Every teacher I've had has been so incredible, and the friends I have made are unforgettable as well as the memories.
