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.

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 am apart of the music program and it is very understaffed but the staff really cares about the students so that makes up for it in a way. As for my experience with teachers, I've only had one bad teacher along with a lot of average/good ones and a handful of amazing teachers. I love those amazing teachers. They helped me grow as a person.

My experience at Will C. Wood High School is enjoyable, although it has been affected because of COVID. I enjoy our leadership programs at Wood, with both our ASB and Link Crew doing an excellent job in organizing activities and events throughout the year. One thing I would like to see change is our college readiness programs. This year, we got a college adviser, but there is still room for a lot of improvement in how they can help the students out a lot better.
