My overall experience with being a student in WS/FCS was great. They offer a lot of opportunities for extracurriculars, arts programs, math/science programs, internships, and so on. I was in the International Baccalaureate MYP and Diploma Programmes at Paisley Magnet and Parkland Magnet High. The programmes made me a well-rounded and rigorous student I am today. I will always appreciate the opportunities that were granted to me in IB as well as how it has molded me into the student and forever learner I am. However, there are aspects in WS/FCS that do need improvement: I feel that there is a lot of segregation in the school district. For example, there is less diversity in schools like Parkland High, Winston-Salem Preparatory Academy, Kennedy, Cook, etc. which makes these schools more liable to receive insufficient/worn resources that hinder student success. Additionally, I feel that the school district needs to include more diverse student voice, meaning students of all backgrounds.
Getting ready to graduate this year and all the years I have attended school at Winston Salem, all I can say is what an amazing district that cares for and support its students. Would forever appreciate all my amazing teachers from Easton Elementary, Flat Rock Middle School, and finally Parkland High School. One thing I would say should be a change is a food, like everyone else, sometimes the food isn't the best but we can work on that.
I like it how the people are very friendly and you can find anyone that has your interests. I also like it how the teachers are accommodating and will help you in your work if you really need it. They will also give your extra points for work and credit. I also always feel safe whenever I am on campus and never have to worry about my stuff being taken. You will always have something fun planned, whether it is expected or not. You might even make a new friend while doing that activity! My life is never dull!
