Woodlawn wouldn't be a first choice school I would attend to. Only for their early college program. Teachers are beneficial with helping kids and making sure they're on their best mental, physical, and academically.

My experience at Woodlawn High School is a place to remember. While attending Woodlawn I opened up to people I did not expect to talk to. I had support from my teachers in every class. They helped me understand that there are more than one way to solve a problem. I also got a chance to work side-by-side with well-rounded Principals that guided me in the right direction and allowed me to shadow their work life(office assistant)

I would love to see more teacher dedication to the students. I enjoyed some of the staff but the students made the experience difficult

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.
