We absolutely love Woodrow Wilson. Our children have attended the school for four years and we couldn't be anything but happy. The staff is amazing. The teachers are outstanding. We couldn't ask for anything better.

We are a military family and move often, so when looking for schools I check this website. Moving to Manhattan, I researched the schools and decided on one school in particular that had a high rating from Great Schools. It didn't work out for us to live in the area that school services but let me say how GLAD I am that it didn't! Woodrow Wilson is an AMAZING school! My kids have attended here for 4 years and I wouldn't trade it for any other school in town! Amazing parents, teachers, staff, and administration! Don't let the rating fool you into thinking there's better here in Manhattan!

We have been at this school for 3 years and I consider it a good school. They have been attentive to my child with a learning disability. Faculty and Principal are outstanding. Presently going through construction to modernize and the staff is maintaining normal routines. Test scores are indicative of teachers and students abilities.

All the staff and teachers know all the kids and take great interest in their lives. Our son loves going here and it is a very parent involved school!
