GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I loved going to Winter Springs I just graduated this past May 2024 and was part of te IB program and graduated with my IB diploma. I loved the principle Mr. Gaffmney and overall the entire administration team who were always super helpful and willing to listen to any concerns on campus. However, I noticed that as an Ib student, I felt the level of education I was receiving was much higher than that of my peers.

Overall, I have found Winter springs high school to be a very nice school. I've had some magnificent teachers and the school events make everyone feel very involved. However there has been an issue with all the bathrooms in an area being locked to prevent vapers using them during class. I agree the vaping is a bit much, and needs management, but you gotta pee when you gotta pee.

School staff and teachers are excellent. I would consider WSHS to be a very safe school in a safe neighborhood. Communication from administration is top notch. Lots of activities, sports, arts and recreation to give my kids a well rounded education. I love having my kids in the Seminole district. Ne...

Excellent so far. Staff and teachers seem to really care about students. The guidance staff can tend to be a little stiff, not very approachable.
