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.

Woolf Branch was a great school for allowing kids to focus on what they desire and have the ability to touch on so many different activities. There are great activities for the kids to show off their talents and practice what they have a passion for. Great academics and arts. Teachers and staff take a great interest in their students. Field trips and other activities allow kids to be rewarded for their behavior and teaches students how to be respectful in a respectful way. I have some great memories of attending Woolf Branch and would recommend this school to so many others.
