Our three children (2nd, 5th, 8th) are in their third year at Winthrop Charter School. As a 15 year active duty military family, we have a wide breadth of experience when it comes to quality of education (5 states, 12 schools). It is without hesitation that we can call Winthrop Charter the best of all. Principal Johnson sets the standard of excellence that all administrators and educators follow. Everyone is personable and strives to go above the standard to ensure all children reach their educational goals. Information flow and responsiveness to/from the school is outstanding. We are honored to be part of the Winthrop Family. Close Quote

My daughter has attended since kindergarten and she's now in the 4 grade they offer a ton of activities and they keep her academically challenged so she don't get bored. I love the school I hope her experience in the middle school will be the same. Close Quote

The elementary school is ok. The middle school has been a revolving door for teachers and very little offerings for the arts. Close Quote
