To the community member who stated " Ive lived in Windsor Forest my whole life and i feel like a parent should not be so disrespectful and immature when talking about the school who is providing their child an education for free. " please let me inform you that Public School IS NOT FREE! I pay for it, as does every other property owner in Chatham County. And trust that it would almost cover private school tuition. I'm sorry you did not know that! I should probably state that NOTHING in life is free. Someone pays for it! However, that belief and expectation is exactly the mentality that condones and encourages the billigerent and disrespectful attitudes given by the majority of students in ALL Chatham County Schools. When I went to Windsor, and my brother a decade later ( with members of Outkast ) it was a top rated school. Offering the equivalent education to that of available private education and the administration demanded and received respect. Misguided students were corrected and punished as required, regardless if it effected ones self esteem or grades. The Administration and the Teachers took EDUCATION seriously and most of my class and that of my brothers went on to gain degrees and respected members of the community. The problem with ALL Chatham County Schools is the lack of demand by 80% or more of the parents to fight for the return of academics over feelings and punishment over disrespect and chaos, to fight for their children ( in a mature, adult manner at Board meetings and the PTA). These "children" will be adult members of society in the near future and although your "angel" may be perfect, a significant portion are not! Their futures are as your future neighbors, community leaders, those that design the future your child and grandchildren live in. They are the same ones who will never know that the United States of America is a Representative Republic ( as stated in the lost Pledge ) and will believe it is a Democracy! And given the taxes we all pay for these students don't you all think we have the right to demand more for the children, our children, grandchildren in our communities? A diploma of any kind means nothing if the knowledge required to attain was held by any 6th grader.Further, Has anyone else noticed the decline in proficiency county wide since the implementation of Common Core? Correlation? I think so.

There are some great students and a handful of teachers at this school. They are under-appreciated and overworked in both cases. This school has a lot of potential and could flourish under the right leadership. Honestly, the district or state needs to come in, clean house, and start over with administration and faculty/staff. As of now, the school is failing its students and its teachers.

Windsor Forest High School is not as bad as people make it out to be. Some people just make the school look bad. Overall Windsor Forest is not a bad school.

This school is a hot mess. The county is a hot mess in general, but Windsor seems to be sliding downhill more each year. The administration doesn't seem to be aware of what is going on with what happens in the school and are only concerned with how things look. They don't support their teachers and even talk bad about them to students. Students can cuss a teacher out and just get a talking to. The quality of teachers has gotten worse each year as more and more of the good ones get jobs at other counties. Windsor loses a ton of teachers each year, like 20 or more, and a lot of times they have substitutes in classes because they can't get anyone to come work for them. If someone stays longer than 2, it's a miracle or they're so bad they can't get a job anywhere else. The students are getting worse too. You should see how they talk to teachers and to each other. They're always on their cellphones. They act wild because they know they won't get punished for it. They get punished more for not wearing the right uniform shirt than they do for refusing to put up their phone. All about appearances remember. The kids that want to learn often have no opportunity to as classtime is mostly spent trying to get kids to behave. Don't listen to people who say Windsor is the best school in Chatham. That was true 10 years ago. It's not true anymore.
