What Winton Woods City Schools does

Winton Woods City Schools is a public PK-12 school district operating under the legal name Winton Woods City School District in Hamilton County, Ohio. It serves students from Forest Park, the Village of Greenhills, and Springfield Township across three campuses: a Central Campus for Preschool and Kindergarten, a South Campus in Greenhills for Grades 1-6, and a North Campus in Forest Park for Grades 7-12, plus a Project Success alternative education site. The district is a member of the New Tech Network and delivers project-based learning (PBL) through the network's proprietary learning management system, including Entry Events, a Need-to-Know (NTK) process, and authentic assessment methodology.

The district operates a portfolio of specialized academic programs built around the New Tech Network PBL core: the Academy of Global Studies (AGS) with Spanish and Mandarin Chinese language tracks, New Tech Academy, and Career-Technical Education spanning 16 Ohio career fields. Supporting programs include a 5-star rated preschool with all-day kindergarten, ESL services for nearly 1,000 active English Learners and 200+ monitored former ELs, Special Education serving over 700 students, Gifted and Talented identification and acceleration, a Fine Arts program recognized by the NAMM Foundation for six consecutive years serving ~1,000 students in Grades 4-12, and a School-Based Health Center launched in 2026 in partnership with The HealthCare Connection. Enabling platforms include ParentSquare for parent communication, Final Forms for enrollment, PaySchools for billing, SchooLinks for career advising, and Finalsite for web/digital communications.

Revenue is generated entirely through public funding mechanisms: local property tax levies (2009 emergency levy, November 2018 Substitute Levy, May 2022 operating levy), state of Ohio per-pupil funding, and federal grants including IDEA and Title I. Governance rests with an elected five-member Board of Education; the administrative team is led by Superintendent Steve K. Denny and Treasurer Randy Seymour. Recent strategic activity includes enrollment growth, campus reorganization around PBL-aligned facilities, and operational expansion into on-site health services.
