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!!
I am Very impressed with the caring staff and the high quality teachers. Friendly and caring parents. Fun and Hip principle. Wood is a Great School thats on the Rise, Lots of great things coming to Wood in the Near future. My Son is in 6th Grade and is looking forward to his next 2 Year at Wood. 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.
The teachers, paraprofessionals, and administrative staff work together to create an inspiring learning environment.
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.
I love wood middle school. Its not too ghetto and its not too uptight.
My daughter and I love Wood school! The teachers are great. They really care about the students academics. I went there as a child and my daughter was goin there til we had to move. Wood has given my daughter such a positive outlook on school. Being at Wood has boosted my daughters self esteem trmendously. Thank you Wood School.
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.
