I haven't seen bullying at all. Homework isn't too bad, depending on teachers. Most teachers are really good. Schools leadership is great, they strive for you to do your best.

My two graduated here in 2011 and 2015. My son and daughter both went onto College at UF a highly selective school. My 26 year old son is now a Managment Consultant with KPMG and my daughter was just accepted to Medical School at FSU. They both made lifelong friends at this school and enjoyed it immensely. My son was part of Student Government and learned great leadership skills here and my daughter was on the Jr Varsity Soccer and LaCrosse team.

Not a good placement for any child with an IEP who wants to academically succeed. Digital program has made learning twice as hard for my child. Teachers have become proctors and do not take time to effectively explain. IEP accommodations are not always respected and followed. It seems that the school is more concerned with A grading and focus on honor students - to the detriment of those needing special accommodations.

My daughter has been at Winter Park High her whole high school career. We absolutely love this school, and we came from a private Christian school. She is very involved in the Chorus department and we feel she has received an exemplary choral education under two of the best choral instructors in the U.S. As she is about to graduate, we are so sad that our days at Winter Park are ending. We strongly recommend this school and particularly the choral department. Parents are strongly encouraged to get involved at this school, and they do.

I'm a freshman Mom and I like the great academic program and supportive staff. WPHS is one of the best HS in Orange County and safe school.

Sending my daughter to Winter Park is one of the best choices that we had ever made, the teachers and the administration staff are great the love the staff show her makes her strive and look forward to goin to school everday. I continue updates through emails and phone calls if needed she a junior and has one more year which will be hard we will miss them but definitly keep in touch.

Horrible school run by even worse administration - Mr. Smith could be described in few words, including: prejudiced, naive, unprepared and untrained for his job, and defends certain teachers who are equally as unqualified while making the lives of others hell. I will never work there again (let alone OCPS at this point), I'm glad my kids have never gone to that school, and I hope one day Winter Park will realize the magnitude of the decline their school is heading into.

I have only one complaint, and that is all the constant phone calls that do not pertain to my child in particular. I receive at least one phone call daily, though I never receive a call regarding when school is cancelled or out due to holidays or staff days.
