School Reviews
5 11/7/2006
New principal is an improvement over the old one. School seems more responsive to students' needs although it can be a bit hit or miss at times. We had three kids in Winship last year. As for comments from another reviewer about racial prejudices: Winship has a large minority population, unlike what the review implies. I guess those who are looking to be victimized by their race will surely find SOMEBODY who will obliged. As for us: everyone seems to be on an even playing field at Winship.
