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.

Academically rigorous while being inclusive and nurturing. Resources could be better, but the foundation does its best to provide support the Republican legislature short changes all our children.

My son is graduating this year and just got a prestigious scholarship. We absolutely feel this is due to his quality education, excellent reference provided by teachers who knew him and the support he received there.

Woods Charter is a great school for its academics. However, it is a small K-12 school, so you're stuck with a lot of the same people, and very privileged people at that. You get to know your teachers well and they truly want to help you learn and grow. There are tons of activities and our sports, while bad in the past, have vastly improved while I've been here. The parents are if anything too involved so that students are less listened to than they would like

GreatSchools sent me an email asking what I "am thankful for at Woods Chartered". It was spam, but I am leaving to California due to work, and I would like to say what I am thankful for. I met Cotton without an appointment outside Woods at the mall they were in, and he convinced me that my kids belo...
