Woodside Elementary School

Woodside is a wonderful school in a spotty school district. The teachers are dedicated, the principal is great, and there is a lot of parent involvement. The feeder pattern for Woodside is not good though - the middle school is bad, and the high school is just okay. Otherwise love this school.

even though the school doesn't any money, they are trying to do their best, the teachers are very care giving and they don't want any other kid fall behind.

This is a great school. Teachers & principal are very involved in giving the students their best. There is a high level of parental involvement and the school is constantly working on ways to improve its ability to give the children the best education possible. The playgrounds were recently upgraded, they have a separate art awareness program as well as music program. I'm glad my son is going to this school.

Woodside Elementary is an outstanding school in a close knit community. The staff and parents collaborate to help each child achieve their absolute academic best. Woodside maintains a friendly, warm, and cheerful environment tempered with the discipline and structure necessary for optimum learning conditions. I have been a teacher at Woodside for over 10 years, and I can assure you that you could not find a more ideal atmosphere for your child to excel during the crucial years of elementary education.
