My son graduated last year from WHS, and he loved every minute of his HS years. The teachers are more than willing to help children attain their goals. HS is what the students as well as the parents make it. As far as school spirit, these kids enjoy every minute of all sports. I wouldn't think

I graduated from Woodstock in 2005, and my experience has encouraged me to become an educator myself. I read over the reviews on this site, and between my personal experience in high school and my education now going through the College of Education, there are two side to every story. I believe Woodstock

Between my mother trying her hardest to help them just pass their classes and the teachers putting forth all they could, they still did not achieve academically like they could. This is not because of the school but because of the boys themselves. Some students will not do well no matter where they go or how hard they are pushed. Read less

I am going into my junior year at Woodstock, and can say that I honestly like the school. I see that certain parents have desired to pull their students out of WHS because their grades dropped from middle school, but that is just a fact that happens to every student. It shows that there is a significant

Woodstock sports are really enjoyable, the after school programs are more than worthwhile, the teachers are enthusiastic to teach and involved with students outside the classroom, and the atmosphere of the school is great. Yes the halls are crowded, but the big population provides for a more diverse crowd of people. I would recommend WHS to any high school student. Read less

I am finishing up my second year, and though I would hate to change schools I believe that Woodstock has serious problems.

I am a sophomore at WHS, and absolutely love it. The school is in an affluent area, but not overwhelmingly so.

I have a son who is a senior this year at WHS. He loved school and was a straight 'A' student until he began WHS. I believe there is a lack of enthusiasm for teaching with most of the staff. I do not think that my son is prepared to attend college next year, despite graduating in the top 10% of his class.

I urge all parents of academically achieving students to take your students out of WHS, if you notice a difference in your student in 9th grade. I wish I would have listened to my gut, and pulled my son in 9th grade. I believe he would have had a more challenging and rewarding academic experience in high school. Read less
