Wood is a great school. My daughter is a sixth grader here. She has been able to adapt very nicely. The school has wonderful teachers, students, and staff, and the PTA is fabulous! The community at Wood really care about the students well being, and are dedicated to ensuring that they have a successful future. Go Beavers!!

My 8th grade "high achiever" has been at Wood since the 6th grade, and he's had a terrific experience. The teachers are stellar and the academics can be challenging. Most importantly, the wonderfully diverse community is a warm and welcoming community: from the down-to-earth PTA to the kids in the hall, it's a community of learners, generosity of spirit, and cooperation.

i went to this school for about a year in sixth grade. There were nice teachers, and of course the mean ones. I did not like this school. The academics were too easy and i felt i didn't learn very much. But overall, Wood has great school spirit, there were tons of dances, and the other students seem to get along most of the time.

Mr. Reis, the beginning and intermediate band teacher, is truly awesome! It's amazing what he can teach those kids to do. Very impressed with him. As for PE and core teachers, they're okay, not the best but decent.

Upsides: some very good teachers, and a student body that has high spirit. Downsides: problem with principal turnover these past few years, and the facilities (like many public schools) are in need of updating.

the students are very friendly, and so are the teachers. as a student it seemed as if the school years went by really fast, and it was easy. if you're a parent i suggest you choose this school for your child.
