Who We Are

Winters Middle School provides all students with a safe and caring environment focused on academic achievement. We celebrate excellence and growth; foster positive relationships; and create supportive and respectful communities for learning.  Our programs are aligned with California State Standards and provide students with a rigorous and challenging education.

At WMS, learning is active and students have multiple opportunities for hands-on, experiential education.  Instruction is differentiated and meets the needs of each learner.

Winters Middle School has a student population of approximately 350 students with 18 full and part-time teachers. Our staff and students support a positive school culture with many community-building activities and events throughout the school year.

Our school enjoys strong community and parent support with volunteers who work hand-in-hand with administration to help coordinate events that celebrate student achievement, and make school not only a place where leaning takes place, but a place where students can have fun while becoming successful and happy young adults.
