Typical EBR school, too worried about scores and not focused on actual learning.

With my experience the first year with this school my transitioning from a school he had been at since 1st grade and then just jumping into a middle school at 7th grade I think the school was fine. he adjusted well and I was able to keep up with his assignments. Now homework I wasn't to pleased about because I didn't know if he had it or not but being my son is honest and is in the magnet program. He kept up with his work and I had no problem. The teachers had no problem keeping in touch and were good about answering any questions I had... Thank You Woodlawn Middle

I am raising my developmentally delayed grandson. This school was his saving grace. The whole staff knows him and are dedicated to his learning and development. He learns differently and this school and this staff have given him a better life. When he came to Woodlawn from Southdowns PreK center in 2018, he was non-verbal, not potty trained and hurting from three years of neglect. Southdowns PreK center gave him no assistance and basically no real education the time he was there. They stuck him in a bare classroom and labeled him a behavior problem. When I took custody, I called the school board office almost every day until they finally transferred him to Woodlawn. Kathy Kapoulas gave my grandson a new start and a new life, and for that I am eternally grateful to this school. The staff is wonderful! He is in a self-contained class but visits other ancillary and regular classrooms for his individual needs. He also has OT and ST weekly. They make him feel so special. I saw another review that said that if your child is disabled steer clear of this school, so that is why I wrote this review. The staff a Woodlawn do not shy away from children with disabilities, they embrace them!
