"We moved here when my son was about to enter 6th grade so we only know about the middle school. Half of the teachers are all right, 25% of them are engaged, many are just friends or family of admin, absolutely ridiculous. There are no male teachers (none) and the assignments are very female oriented, lots and lots of creative writing with a focus on decorating the work ( their term is funkify), for all the classes. The grounds and facilities are what is attractive. The sports program is terrible despite appearances. Go elsewhere, we are."

"What a mess. Never ever have I seen a so called preparatory school run by pushy parents and teachers in fear of losing their jobs. The high school guidance counselor has held on to her job for years, despite the fact that forgetting to send out transcripts etc... is an every day occurrence. I know of several students who have not gotten in to their first choice school because of their incredible disorganization. Parents are permitted to throw their weight around to influence grades. I personally witnessed the mother of the valedictorian of the class of 2010 BRAG about changing her daughters GPA because it was the "teacher's fault". Don't walk - run away from this school - unless you want to "buy a grade" as oppose to educate your child."

"Since leaving this school, our daughter has had to endure tutoring just to catch up. After have our child tested and knowing what we as parents already knew she has no learning problems! The problem is the school. Bullies are another problem. If you child is hit by another child that has four other siblings that go there don't bother because your one and only child will be cheated...WPS wants that money and not just your one child when the other family offers so much more money than you. Safety is not of concern. The admin. knows of these problem children that go there and year after year get away with it because of the mighty dollar..I would not get caught up in the looks but the people who are running the place."

"Our family loves this school. The staff and teachers have provided an excellent environment for my daughter to flourish in. I can't believe how much she's learned in just 4 months. Sadly, we'll be moving out of state and will miss Windermere Prep. The experience we've had has been one of close community, a family really."

"My three children attend WPS and I could not be happier. After spending 2 years in a good local public school, I was not satisfied with the attention my children received. They were often looked over because they were able to complete work without assistance and did not cause any trouble. At WPS they benefit from the student teacher ratios, they take drama, strings, pe, spanish and art. They are challenged with their assignments and love to go to school each day. The best part of the school is the sense of community and family that we all feel. My children can not wait to play sports and grow with the school. WPS is a first class school with dynamic teachers providing my family with an excellent whole child education."
