My experience with Winthrop High School has overall been okay. The food is terrible, and we are in debt, but the teachers are mostly really good, and the school has a group for most people to become part of. That being said, the lack of funding makes it hard for high achieving students to truly challenge themselves without adding on the addition stress of a class away from school premises.

It was ok, not too much bullying. Teachers constantly busy from oversized curriculums. Food was disgusting.

Student population isnt very diverse and alot of bullying takes place if you dont fit in. Sports teams and teachers are the best quality about Winthrop.

My son attends Winthrop High School, and though he does struggle in a couple classes, the teachers do whatever is necessary to help him excel! They are committed to working with the kids and community..
