Woodside High School

Woodside is amazing! It isn't just a school, its a place a grow and perform. There is so much diversity! I've never seen so many different children get along so well. And we had over 12% more than any other Newport News school in reaching our 3.0 G.P.A. quota. Woodside is the best school ever! I couldn't of ask for a better school!

I love Woodside! The people who say its overpopulated are CLAUSTROPHOBIC! I love the diversity and respect everyone has! The teachers are awesome, and the "no parents" complaint isnt realistic. the teachers are training us to be college students, trying to get us into Georgetown,Harvard,CNU and Yale! They really do care, and the reason why we have the "no parent" complaint is because we are learning to be independent, we have to learn from ou mistakes, and sometimes, we have to decide things for ourselves! Im so glad our principal this year is Mstilly. I love her! She is fair, and doesnt hover!! I LOVE WOODSIDE!!!!

Woodside is an amazing school! I'm in the music magnet (violin and love it! I love playing music with my friend and I'm happy that woodside has provided us musicians a place to express ourselves everyday. The music teachers are very respected and loved by all of their students. I feel like I couldn't have been in this enviornment if I went to any other kind of High School beside Woodisde. - thank you woodside!

This is my Second year attending Woodside High School, I think that Woodside is one of the best schools' in Newport news because unlike other schools in Newport News woodside is a tight knit community and everyone at woodside is respectable also the principal Mrs. Tilley is great! she treats us students like her own kids and when I was having problems Freshmen year she was there for me !

My daughter attends Woodside and is in the Arts Magnet program. I think the program is great, the school is pretty good. Like all Newport News High Schools it has it's share of problems. Ms Tilly has really tried to bring about change for the better. The teachers are really committed to the kids and the extra activities that they offer.

I'm going to be a sophomore at Woodside next year, after experiencing my frshamn year I can easily say this school will put my life's goals into action, Mrs. Tilly, the new principal is amazing and has really brought Woodside pride through the roof. Most the teachers can be a friend and still teach, while implimenting discipline when necessary. IT is the ONLY school inNewport News that can hang with York County's standards.

I attended Woodside High School for the first part of my freshman year in the Band arts magnet, and now attend Denbigh High School.I can say that the social situation at Woodside is poor and the drama is intence and everything is very impersonal.At Denbigh it is a more tight knit community and there is not half the problem I had at Woodside.

I currently attend Woodside High School and I've enjoyed the three years that I've been here. The teachers are very friendly and take the time to work with you before and after school. Woodside/Hoodside goes to hard! l0ls.
