My daughter had a terrible experience in this school. Her classmates bullied her and the teachers did absolutely nothing. The other kids would blame my daughter for their actions. I do not recommend this school at all.

Both of my kids go to WWES. I am so pleased with everything the school has to offer. All the teachers and staff are wonderful and amazing. I always feel like my kids are in good hands at WWES. The best part is the support. During Covid we all went into it not knowing what it looked like for school and the school and teachers have been absolutely amazing. Both of my kids teachers have been extremely flexible, understanding and incredible. The kids are thriving right now and I applaud WWES for being able to teacher and nurture the learning environment during these unpredictable times.

My husband and I are extremely pleased with Windsor woods. The staff are always welcoming to parents and students. They are also very involved with the students! At Hermitage only the Janitor was this kind! The teachers have all been here for over 3 years and you can clearly see why. Grade wise- My son was barely meeting expectations and at the point of anxiety attacks on the way to school. He now LOVES school. Refuses to miss. Does his homework quickly and looks forward to the next day. He is excelling socially and academically.

The teachers here all care about each child individually. They are very hands on and involved in the education of each student. We have older children and military so have been at four elementary schools. Hermitage being the only other local one and not ONE other teacher locally meets the standards we have seen from Windsor Woods Elementary.

The principal greets every child, every morning. He is at every PTA event and very involved with the children. You can see he truly loves his job! This has been a god send!

My child went from a school where he was constantly bullied even by TEACHERS/coaches. Windsor woods uplifts every student and focuses on there strengths to help them build the skills needed to succeed socially and academically.

Windsor Woods is an awesome school. I am a mother of 5 children, 3 in their 20's who attended, and 2 that attend now and have had the same teachers as their older siblings. I think this says a lot about a school when the teachers stay for so many years. The staff is incredible, they really care about the children and go the extra mile to help them in every aspect of their life whether it be their education, extra-curricular activities, etc. My children truly enjoy and look forward to going to school every day. The school has a great Principal, he makes it a point to know all the children and stays involved in all the school events. I have enjoyed participating in all the school events and will be very sad when the last of my children graduate from this school.

I have two kids that went to this school. One in third grade and one in first grade. They both attended since kindergarten. Unfortunately, we had to move out of state. I was sad to leave this wonderful school. My kids had great teachers each year and it seems that everyone that works there is happy to be there. Great School!
