This is honestly the worst school I’ve experienced and my oldest child is 14. It’s dirty and it smells awful inside. All the staff does is yell….they don’t have real chairs for the students. And one of the staff told my child who’s barely been there for a year to “use his brain” in regards to putting a pencil where it belongs(they typically don’t use pencils in this class). I’ll be glad to leave this place.

My son attended Wood Elementary for his 4th and 5th grade school years and I am so pleased. Jackie Cooper is such a jewel. She is so comfortable and genuine and honestly loves the children at Wood. I can tell that she wants to see each and every student succeed and encourages them to work hard and be respectful and kind. I love the way the staff rewards the students for their behavior. Anytime I have visited the campus it has been orderly and their is an atmosphere of happiness. I love Wood Elementary and so does my son. Thank you !!!!

Awesome teachers! All the teachers my son has had are communicative, caring, thoughtful, always willing to help you in whatever you might need. For any child to succeed parents need to be involve in all they do! ;) GREAT PRINCIPAL TOO!

Poor parent Communication. We had a teacher change in the middle of the first semester in 5th grade and we still have not received a note or anything home about the change or an introduction to the new teacher. Email addresses are old on the website and included teachers/Staff that retired last year and it didnt have new teachers for this year listed. As of Jan 1, one teacher had not had access to her voice mail( 5 months of school year had gone by). I feel the principal is making an attempt to improve things and she has been the fastest at returning calls and emails. I am disappointed in many of the assignments being worked on by the students as they are not addressing the objectives but seem more just busy work. I have had no communication as to progress in reading level or lexile level. I fear that my student will do very poorly on the standardized test as I have seen no growth this year.

The new principal is doing a great job working with teachers, students, parents, and the community!
