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.

Overall, not the worst school there is but also not top-notch. Needs more AP classes to be prepared for college.

The best part about my experience is the small school environment. With having a small school, there are more opportunities to get help and to get one-on-one time with teachers. The teachers here all know me personally and do whatever they can to help me succeed. The worst part about my school is the lack of communication between staff, students, and parents. I would like to see a change in better communication about events and happenings in the school system.

Wood Memorial is a wonderful, small school in Southern Indiana. The school is supported by wonderful teachers and faculty, which are among the best in their field. Specifically, the honors math and English teachers are swell at their jobs. The athletics are not elite, but certainly enjoyable.
