The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

It's a great school with a good environment. There's a place for a lot of people whether it's in clubs or sports. The teachers are mainly good except for some that choose favorites and blatantly show during class.

I spent four years as a student in Woodson, my experience was mostly good, but it could have been better. I made friends, participated in sports and extracurriculars, so in no way was I ever isolated. I never witnessed bullying first hand, but that didn't mean there wasn't uncomfortable situations. There were a handful of teachers that seemed to pick on students for not acting as expected (and I don't mean they were misbehaving, the students tended to be shy or quiet and for some reason that irritated the teachers so they were sarcastic or rude towards the students, putting them on the spotlight more often than even other students who were more inclined to participate). This last academic year (2023-24; I was a 23' graduate) a new class for African American history was added, but unfortunately the teacher acted inappropriately made the students (majority black) pretend to pick cotton from the floor as she acted as their "master." Woodson isn't bad, but I wouldn't go back.
