The Windsor School THE EDUCATION THERE IS A RIP-OFF ESPICIALLY FOR WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FLUSHING New York
This school is a huge ripoff. the tuition there costs about 10,000 a year, and it was the worst money i have ever spent. when i graduated from there, i was not prepared for college at all. which is what i thought the purpose of h.s was. i could have easily failed two classes there but since i was in good standing (i.e, i payed on time) i passed them. i could tell cause the white-out on my report card showed that my grade was changed.
Furthermore, its an unrealistic h.s setting, there is pretty much no other high school where its flooded with immigrants and f.o.b s who dont speak english at all. if ur an american theres no need to go there because the setting doesnt prepare you for the real world at all. and if ur not from the country i wouldnt recommend going there either because your not gonna learn english because the staff pretty much allows the kids to speak whatever language they want (usually korean).
I would have much rather gone to a public school or any other school for that matter. i strongly recommend avoiding going to this school at all costs unless you want to buy your high school diploma for a mere 40k.

I can not say what went on when you graduated in 1999 and the administration when this complaint was posted , however I can say the summer classes to advance or repeat are serious. My kids went to summer school 2015 and 2016 which is a 6 week program leading to the option to take the regents. My kids have been studying non stop and have not had a social life for 5 weeks so far. I don't like this but there is nothing to do but continue the course.
My point is they do teach the subjects throughly ( in my case, 9th grade math and 10th grade science). I know how tough the classes are because I am hands on and check all their hw, notes and help them study for the tests. The school do not change grades. They run a tight ship. The tests, midterm and finals are tough and they do not teach just to pass the regents. One must be dedicated to study each topic. My kids spend 4-5 hours on hw and studies everynight in order to prepare for tests that is adminstered nearly every 2 days. In one perticular week my son had 4 tests on 4 different topics. He is exhausted. If there is a test on Monday, they have to stay in and study the entire weekend. Taking a summer class there in the summer is like an academic boot camp so the teachers will go over every topic...in each subject... in depth on an extremely fast pace. The grades are truly earned and the students must be dedicated.
