Teacher do not help students. They just blow them off, tell them they don’t have time. No doors in girls bathrooms all year. Terrible safety issues. Assaults happen towards the female students continuously without repercussions. Front office staff makes comments to children such as “I’m sure your parents are so proud of you” when correcting information that is being stated that is not factual. Total failure of a school. I completely regret my child going to school here. Wish I could give a zero.

Both of my children attended Windy Hill Middle. My daughter was in the ESE program. The staff was great and both my son and daughter have enjoyed their time spent at this school.

My boys had an awesome experience in this school. For me, they are the best middle school in the Clermont area.

Horrible school!!! The administration rude, unorganized,unprofessional. At the beginning of the school year they advised via letters & open house how they always want to keep lines of communication open between the parents and the school. I have sent e-mails, called and left voice mail messages for the teacher(s) & assigned guidance counselor to call me & they do not return calls. They make if difficult for you to have an open line of communication with them. I called the main office and asked to speak to the assistant principal, and I hear her in the background, say to the receptionist tell her I'm not here. I couldn't believe what I heard. This school does not deserve a "B" rating. My son tells me there are fights everyday. He has seen students jumping over the wall and leave school grounds. The administration does not seem to be in control of anything. I'm ashamed and disgusted that I have to send my kids to this school. I think the school could be run better a group of lab monkeys....seems like it already is.

This school is terrible considering i am a straight "A" student. If you even do the slightest thing the principals will give you the biggest punishments. Some teachers are really rude and and dont care about your opinions. They say things like "shut up", "your and idiot" etc. One of the biggest things that had me mad is the things they say about your back, because my friend came up to me one day and showed me a recording about what a teacher was saying about me when i was absent or when i was in a different period. The school has lots of roaches, so far i have seen at least 30 or more in this school year. The new assistant principal Mr. Roberts is so rude and gives you huge punishments even for the crime you didnt do! This no backpack policy gets me unorganized and i have to carry alot of things in my hand. Also i get that we can bring our phones to school but we cant even use it at lunch or during breaks. The desks are cheap and break too easy, and the squeaky noises it makes is so annoying during class and people like me cannot focus. The students there are very violent and uncontrollable. You have to wait to purchase your lunch. I DONT RECOMEND GOING HERE!!!

That school is horrible No matter what the teachers say they dont care about you or they dont help you I feel like im still in elementary with all the rules Actually I think we had more freedom in elementary Probably the only reason I go to school anymore is because of my friends and if i didnt have any of those I probably wouldntcome to school That school is so cheap The desk and chair squeak if you move a inch They have the most roaches I've ever seen Also the biggest roaches Dont even get me started on the lunchroom Thats where all the roaches are and anytime I decide I want a salad or fruit I always find hair in it and i just lose my appetite all together When we have chicken the chicken has blood If you dont eat your lunch the guidance counselor will take the uneaten part of the meal and give it back to the lunch ladies who just put it on another plate Personally its a disgusting place to be The whole school! They have a few good teachers and the rest dont care if you have Fcat that week they'll still give you 2 page report due the next day even though that teacher may never give homework If you have the choice don't go to the school

This school is great, but the only thing that kept me off track , not organized was not having a back pack! I can assure students will be originized! If high schoolers can have a backpack and elementary and some middle schools, how come we can't have backpacks ? I'd be way more orginized and focused were my stuff are ! Also the eoc we need a study guide for that (: but other than that allow backpacks! Also some of the teachers didnt grade the work they graded behavior and told us "shut up" and way more but tet weren't helping me in my opinion ! We new backpacks snd some other things, this school needs an upgrade :)

We are happy our kids are zoned to this school, it's fairly new and much much smaller than the other middle school that is closer to us.
