Consistently places in the top 5% of American high schools for AP/IB participation (see Newsweek and Washington Post) An IB World School offering 24 college credits for an IB Diploma. 22 AP and 8 dual-credit classes also offfered. It's also a top ten school in athletics (see Dallas Morning News) and performing arts is universally recognized. The school has been producing Broadway musicals since the 1950s. There are wealthy kids and poor kids but everyone seems to get along and have a great love for the school. It's not unusual to find many second and third generation students.
Now an fully-authorized IB World School offering the IB Diploma Programme - 24 hours of college credit in Texas and up to 30 in univeristies around the world. In addition to IB, Woodrow offers 22 AP and 8 dual-credit college courses which can yield even more college credit. 10 foreign exchange students and a dozen visited from France for most of April 2011. IB students are planning a Costa Rica trip this summer. Beyond IB and AP are the chances to be friends with students from all walks of life, race and income levels. Woodrow is truly greater than the sumof its parts. Not easy to quantify by scores, it's more qualitative.
One of the top high schools in the United States. Just became an International Baccalaureate School. Great Parent Involvement and Support. Great History with many prestigious alumni.
