The teachers at Woodland are dedicated to teaching. They work with parents and answer e-mails within a reasonable amount of time. They post grades into Crosspointe mostly daily and keep it updated. Mr. Wing is the best band teacher ever! He really cares for his students and wants them all to succeed! Woodland Middle is a great school! Thank you!

Theres math lab, math counts, plethra of sports, and lots of fun involved in our everyday learning. Best School Ever!!!!

I have had two students go thru Woodland Middle School 7-8 grades after one year at Heron Creek. The teachers have been outstanding but no one has assisted more in their academic successes than James Kelly who has the students' best interests in mind at all times. We have had our challenges with certain teachers at times but in the end, the right decisions were made with the student as the priority. If you are a parent who stays in touch, you will enjoy and appreciate your child's experience at Woodland Middle.

I love this school! I transferred here last year and i made so many friends. 8th grade teachers are amazing and i actually like school here better then the weekends (which is alot to say considering i used to yearn for weekends) This is an amazing school and i wish i could be here forever. the only complaint i have is the rules on dress code are a bit strict but its for safety so i can manage.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Florida used the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT 2.0) to test students in grades 3 through 10 in reading, 3 through 8 in math, and in grades 5 and 8 in science. The FCAT 2.0 is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Florida. The FCAT 2.0 has 5 achievement levels, with level 1 being the lowest and level 5 the highest. Florida considers scores of level 3 and higher to be on or above grade level. The goal is for all students to score at or above level 3.

About the tests


Florida uses School Grades to measure the overall performance of a school each year on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). Each school is assigned a letter grade (A-F) based on three criteria: the overall performance on the FCAT, the percentage of eligible students who took the test, and whether or not students made progress in reading and math. The School Grades are calculated by adding points earned from each of the performance criteria listed above.
