Woodbrook Elementary School

I am so happy to be a part of this school.. The pricipal is one of the finest i have evr met,. She has made the school going s far.. Her enthusiusm and the way she brngs in new projects for the school is amazing. The teachers go overboard when it comes to students.. They take personal attention in making sure the child climbs up the ladder together with other kids.. Theytalk so sweetly to u amd respond on the mal that day itself... They tell u all the places u can improve woth the kid...we wanted to move out to sme place else.. But the school makes us stat.. And we will...

Amazing School.....Truly fantactis Principal...Great Teachers....very effective academic program in place. Irrespective of some dedicated rooms ..such as Music, Art, Spanish..etc ...teachers go out of their way to teach the kids. The nurse is just another great professional in the school team, including the administrative staff in the main office. They always have time for the parents regardless of how busy they are. But yes...The gym teachers need to smile a little more. Last ...as parents we need to push this great institution to become a blue ribbon ! Ms Cirillo ...How can we help ?

My daughter has been attending for a few years and I have many positive things to say about this school. The curriculum is wonderful, they have implemented many new programs including Journeys reading, Spanish language and Singapore Math. The staff, teachers and principal are a dedicated and hardworking group. The PTA is very involved and offer terrific after school programs and other spirit filled events like the class parties, Holiday Boutique, School Store, and Field Day just to name a few. The renovation of the the new school library is a great addition too. The school is very current on technology with smart boards in every classroom and iPads and laptops in the new state of the art library/media center. The only drawback is the lack of a lunchroom so students can order hot food but it has to be in advance so it takes some planning. Other than that, we are very pleased with the school.

Our current principle is amazing. Apart from 4th grade teachers, rest of the group is good. The school biggest sore is the 4th grade teachers. Parents, most of them are lazy in volunteering. Since most of them from Asia--- they believe if you don't get money for a work its not worth doing it. The budget cuts have really taken a toll on schools activities. Wish there were easier and simpler way to remove the teachers who are just using our tax money.

I have two sons in Woodbrook Elementary School, one in Kindergarten, one in 3rd grade in 2009. From my observation of my sons' education received and my experiences with the teachers and staff, I give Woodbrook five stars. It is an excellent school. Here are some highlights. 1. Teachers know their kids My two sons sometimes experience some issues at learning certain skills/academics, their teachers could observe the issues spot on and recommend extra help from school and get parents involved to work together. 2. Teachers are very responsive interacting with parents. Every time I sent email to my sons' teachers, they always repond back very quickly. Our questions answered, and suggestions are made to help our sons to progress. 3. Principal and staff are friendly and accomodating. Principal is always out there helping kids and parents, she is very accessible and helpful. Same for school staffs.

My child has flourished both in academics and in social behavior the day she joined this school. Teachers are very encouraging and co-operative. Very Good school.....

My son goes to 2nd grade to this school. He went to kindergarten and 1st grade in not so good school district. I find his previous school was much better than this. His vocabulary and went from excelent to bad. His spelling(he was is a spelling bee contest in 1st grade) went from excellent to bad. You name it , every area of his studies has gone bad. I am so angry in the methods they teach kids. Totally disorganized. Keeps me wondering how the school has got a good rating. Its just because of the kids parents who groom the children into academics. The duty which has to done by teachers are now done by parents. Feels like they are baby sitting the kids rather than teaching.

This is a good school but overcrowded. so overcrowded that the school is converting the library into classrooms. Each class has between 25-28 kids. The school has NO music room, NO art room, NO cafeteria, NO strings teaching, and now NO LIBRARY. Reading is vital to learning. Parents have to pay for every activities. Bussing costs $500 per child which parents pay if they want bus for kids. This is an expensive public school. Nice school building.

Great School..A principal with a vision and teachers that are committed to make your kid learn, stay focused, succeed and still come home and say 'I have fun in school'...what else would a parent need.

The education is excellent. Teachers spend time with students to make their personal development plans.
