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.

I had an over all amazing year. Everybody is super helpful and nice. I did my last two years there and had a blast. Just be kind and open minded about those around and don't be shy. Everyone is like family.

I love the energy my teachers give me every day and the support I have. I would love to see the cafeteria food change and more hands-on work rather than just books and paper.

My experience at Woodlawn was a interesting one. We lost a school mate to a shooting at his home and that really affected the school but there has been healing which comes with time. I would like to see the school become more supported financially because the resources are very limited

My school Woodlawn High school- Magnet is great. But, we need new things as well like new venting machines, better school t-shirts, and more. We all try to help with those few things, by giving money, fundraisers, and raffle tickets. But, that didn't go as planned. We need your help! Please, conside...

I attend Woodlawn now and it's okay. I previously attended a county school and had to get use to the way that things work here. I had/ have some great teachers here. The administration could stand to change and students could be more behaved, but other than that, Im satisfied.
