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.

My son has been going to John Wood through their EC program for the past couple years. We have nothing, but good things to say about this program and the staff at Wood. The two teachers my son has had have been amazing. I also love how the principle makes the EC kids feel like they are part of the school. This wasn't the feeling we got when he was enrolled at Headstart at a different school. He gets to be part of a community and that is helping my son to learn even more social and educational skills.
