My 2 kids have been students at this school for four years now…read more The teachers and staff are excellent, the environment is positive, and the education goes beyond academics. The school promotes strong common-sense values and encourages students to appreciate the opportunities they have in this country. I say this as a legal immigrant who proudly became a U.S. citizen here. Parents who want their children to build solid foundations and have the best chance to thrive in life will appreciate what this school offers. It provides quality education for families who may not necessarily want--or be able--to send their children to expensive private schools. In our experience, the administration and teachers truly care about the students' growth, both academically and personally. We are very grateful that our two children had the opportunity to spend several important school years here. I strongly recommend Hillcrest in Lake Wales. I am surprised to read a 1 star review by Geogre (George?) who mention he got a virus from food there. I guess that is a young student who wrote this, so i am not sure his review is 1/ objective and 2/ relevant. I would not take it into consideration, based on my own & kids' experience.

McLaughlin Middle School, where do I even start. This School from what my child has been telling me…read moreis the worst school ever. People fighting, the kids cussing, the teachers don't care if the kids cuss near them. We just moved to winter haven not too long ago we thought this school would be a great start to our new life with the new house. My Kid was sad because she misses her old school, but I told her this would be a fresh start. Her First day from the school was so bad that as of right now we have started the process of getting her out of this school. So, If you are new in the area of Winter Heaven or Lake Wales, please do not go to Mclaughlin Middle/High School.

This school is an absolute mess! my son was taken out and placed…read moreon line to finish school, because the administration is a joke and the bullies are relentless. when you have a child that is physically reacting to having to go to school each day by throwing up, and you have taken them to the Dr, put them on anxiety meds, and helped them ever way you can, there is a problem. when you have the so called head of the special needs of the IEP department tell you on the phone, ( even though you covered all your bases) in front on your child, a threatening situation, there is a problem. Esp when the school lies to your from day one and about the transportation issues they are putting into play but the absence that your student will get won't count against them. so many things went wrong and continue to go wrong in this school, and not only with my son, with people I know that work there as well. I feel for the current and up and coming children that will continue to go there.

This school is dangerous . My child is now learning bad habits. He says the teachers don't pay…read moreattention to what the students do especially when it comes to rules or bullying. The campus is full of trash and the principal pulled my child out of class when I came for copies of documents that was uncalled for. As birth mother on paper they gave me a hard time to get documents! Terrible school do not send your kids here
