Special Education

Winthrop High School offers a wide range of opportunities for students with individual special needs. The goal is to maximize successful learning experience within the least restrictive learning environment, consistent with Chapter 766 and Public Law 94-142. The department develops programs for those students who may need specialized strategies or modifications of curriculum in order to participate fully in the high school community and prepare for post-secondary goals. Services are only open to students who have been evaluated by an assessment team and have a current, signed Individualized Educational Plan (I.E.P.). The I.E.P. team will determine appropriate placement for each student according to his or her current Individualized Educational Plan.
