GreatSchools Rating
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.

Woodside has been a good school since I enrolled in my freshman year. I chose to attend for the music/Band program because I have been in ban since 6th grade and I fell in love with music and I can say that I have learned a lot from the teachers at Woodside and I am a proud student

Overall it's a good school, there were and still are so times when I get stressed over the work but it's ok because I can always count on my teachers for help. Also there are plenty of opportunities to get involved with the school.
