I have attended this school since kindergarten and even though my experience has had its rough patches, I have grown and maintained a tradition of excellence. Some people believe that Winfield is only about who-knows-who, and trust me, it is not. My parents are not well known and are not even from Winfield. Regardless, I am known and have leadership roles in various clubs. It is a proven fact that Winfield has GREAT scores, and I feel as though I am fully prepared to attend a university. Middle school was mainly where most of the problems were located for me, but due to changes, I believe student experiences have been altered and are considerably better. At Winfield, you have a choice of few, but highly successful extracurricular programs. The coaching and teaching is excellent at Winfield and students are treated equally in the classroom as well as outside of school while participating in activities. Teachers truly care about a student's success and are always free to help. A 20 minute activity period also allows for extra help, and many students take full advantage of this. I highly recommend Winfield to everyone.

Be cautious here. This is a very small town with an outdated minimal high school curriculum. There will be no in between, you will either love it or be miserable. They are not receptive to outsiders or any cultural diversity whatsoever. On the positive side, with it being such a small school it does make it easier to participate in extra curricular activities. The athletic programs are adequate but limited, so no swimming, lacrosse, soccer, remember this is a small school district. Discipline at the school can be strict, but is handed out based on who you are and who needs to be disciplined. If you are a local and you go to church or hunting with the right teacher or administrator you can bully and ride rough-shod over the entire school. Know what you are getting into before you jump in.
