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.

The majority of the staff is alright. The students have been violent with each other in previous years. The food sucks, but the majority of high schools in the area have the same food offered. There are many clubs and sports teams to join. Some classes do not have AC. Bathrooms can be dirty, as well as the campus.

What I liked about my school was how many resources it has for student who struggle with mental health. Being able to have that space for myself was important to me and I appreciate the people who made that possible. Another great thing about Woodside is leadership program that really makes you put yourself out there. Because of this i am able to take initiative in group in leadership class and other other classes.

Admittedly, I only come across a small slice of the students compared to a teacher or administrator.However, in the years I've been there, I've been able to pick up a reasonably positive vibe in not only the students I coach, but also in overheard snippets of student-to-st...
