My three oldest attended TWHS but each had a ho-hum experience. Too much emphasis on money and fast cars. The four period block schedule has many disadvantages and may be better for teachers than students. Elite attitude doesn't promote individuality or creativity. We sent our fourth child across the

The Woodlands Highshool pushes you to be your personal best. Just floating by with average grades and sports performances isn't acceptable. We are the best in almost everything we do and behind that is hard work, dedication, and years of upholding the tradition of what it is to be a Highlander.

One of my sons had tons of opportunity for A/P classes and International Affairs groups and conferences. My other son has opportunities to be involved in sports. TWHS offers excellent academic and athletic opportunities.

As parents of a TWHS junior I can say that this school is amazing when it comes to assessing the level of achievement among academics and extracurricular programs. My son is in the band and it competes at a national level... and is always near the top. The teachers and administrators are highly skilled
... Read more and concerned and will assist when students ask for help, but trying to fit in is like trying to jump on a freight train going 90 miles an hour. I would say the level of stress and potential depression among many students at TWHS is perhaps higher than what is seen at a more 'average' high school. I would say most parents feel fortunate to say their child graduated from TWHS, but success does not come without a price. It is hard to 'come down' are relax after the rigors of class work and competitions. Read less

Our daughter just graduated from here and, while she received a very good education, she didn't have an overall positive experience, although most of that was fault of her own. My only advice would be to make sure your kid is ready and able to thrive and survive at this school before he or she attends.

I would recommend your kid focus intently on excelling in just one area for a start, which isn't guaranteed to happen at all. We've been pleased with the staff at the school who have generally seemed to be very helpful and competent. Read less

Normally we have nothing but positive comments about the school, but it has been nothing but a dissapointment during TAKS week. I have a child at TWHS and another at McCullough, and the discrepancy between the testing atmosphere is incredibly disturbing. My 7th grader (McC) was able to take supervised
... Read more breaks during testing and keep a book under her desk to read once she finished testing. She says this helped. My 10th grader (TWHS) was forced to sit silently (they were given the choice of staring at the wall or sleeping once finished) for four hours each day and was told multiple times that he may NOT read after turning in his test. Different rules between schools in the same district? Are the rules set by TEA not strict enough for them? If I am sending my child to school despite swine flu, don't tell him to sleep instead of learning. Read less
