Winthrop College Preparatory Academy 9-12 12802 U.S. 301, Riverview, FL 33578

"I am currently a student here and it is worse than last year. One literally on the first three days of school starting this year I knew people who got an essay. Secondly the dress code is more stupid than it was last year instead of wearing whatever pants you want you now have to wear solid colors specifically black, navy, or kahki and you can't wear normal skirts anymore they literally have to be skorts which makes no sense because it's not like anyone would notice nor will people will be distracted by whatever someone is wearing unless they are speaking about staff because unlike some of them most of us teenagers know better or isn't tenlted by the most trivial things. The reason I say for staff is because the principal this year "accidentally" dropped his walkie talkie next to me and my friend who was wearing a skirt and standing and the way he dropped it didn't look like it was an accident more so on purpose. I've seen him look at me(a trans male who sometimes wears skirts) and other female presenting students. I do not feel an ounce of comfort being near him."

"I went here for my first year of high school and it’s absolutely horrible. First, teachers kept going. I never had a steady teacher for math and had a substitute teach who eventually got fired. I had two Spanish teachers leave and got one at the end of the school year. I didn’t have a science teacher until the start of the third quarter. Second, the teachers give too much work and expect it to be finish in a short amount of time. And lastly, you get treated as a middle schooler. This school is supposed to get you ready for college. The communication between the teachers and the administration is very unclear. The only good things from this school are the band and art teacher."

"They never answer their phone. They have the rudest front office staff. Especially the dark haired young girl and the chubby older blonde. I dont think they know how to smile or to be welcoming. Make sure to have patience before going into the office. The assistant principal is rude and a bully to some students. The principal is Amazing though. He cares about his students and their future."

"We really like this school! The administration and teachers are very receptive and my child actually enjoys the classes and teachers! It is still a brand new school and new things are being added, but it's been so difficult with Covid. That has really slowed things down. But the programs and enrollment options offered are fantastic! I do wish the cafeteria, outdoor eating area and soccer fields were bigger."

"Overall great school. The Principal, staff, teachers all very supportive. The PTC is very involved in activities and fundraisers and hold fun events for the kids. The teachers care about how their students are doing. No school is perfect, classwork sometimes takes a little longer to get graded and there are the occasional disruptive students that cause some problems - but that is in every school. My son enjoys going every day and has learned a lot this year!"
