the school is good, but is growing a lot and I think the principal can not handle it, she is overwhelmed.

As far as education goes, this school is on point. And with the exception of a few teachers the majority of the teachers are excellent. But that few makes the school look bad. Some of the teachers are out of touch with what it takes to also build a child's self esteem not break a child's self esteem

I couldn't ask for a better school. Read less

Let me start by saying that we moved here because of all the great things we heard about Riverside Middle and Riverside High, but I would not recommend Woodland Elementary school to anyone moving here. It is a beautiful new school with no accademic support (at least not in our class). My child was

Comments and requests left on school papers for teachers response were never answered. School smoking ban never enforced by staff allowing anyone to smoke and infringe on the smokefree rights of students and others while waiting for student pickup. Parents need to take a more active role in safety by not using cell phones while driving around school grounds, way too many close calls. Read less

My 3rd grader recently started attending Woodland after our move from FL. I was extremely impressed with the school itself and what it had to offer when my husband and I took the parent tour the school offers twice a month.

I would like to express my disappointment and dismay at the lack of a working and efficient school dismissal program at Woodland.
