The school is overcrowded due to an exponential increase in the towns population with housing developments all over the place. Taxpayers voted against building a new high school so there is no hope in sight. The middle school and high school are connected and share the same cafeteria, commons, and library. There are 12 year olds in the same school as 20 year olds. The high school has earned the nickname of portable city. Most of the teachers have given up on teaching the high schoolers anything. My daughter went from an honor student in Vancouver, WA to a 1-B. 1-D and the rest of her classes are F'. I believe the drug use by teens is much higher than average. I also think the number of students has surpassed the 675 or so listed by this site.
The primary and elementary schools have good teachers. The high school has more lazy teachers than good ones. I have 3 kids in the high school and the teachers spend more time trying not to teach than teach the kids anything. My daughter refuses to go to class a lot of days because they are just watching another movie for the third time or give them two weeks for a simple project that takes at most 2 days. She has better things to do than sit in class and learn nothing. Very unimpressed.
I'm not a parent but i did go to Woodland High School all four years. I think it is an amazing school. The teachers really care about the students and about what they are teaching. I always knew a teacher or the princiapl was available if I needed help. All of the sports programs are great. Most of my favorite memories during high school are from some sporting event or other extra-curricular activity. Now I'm in college and I began by taking college level courses. I probably wouldn't be at that level if I went to a different school, with different teachers and different classes.
