My 1 star is directed towards a teacher in particular: Carolyn Thomas.Absolutely horrible teacher. She ruined English for myself and for many other students. I felt bullied by her and she would openly bully other students too.She would use other student’s work as a basis of what “not to do”. I saw her use someone’s essay as an example, in front of her whole class, of “how not to do an essay.”If someone has a learning issue, it doesn’t matter to her. She will belittle that student. Her liking of a person consists of whether or not she can sympathize with them being “different”, since she was a supposed goth girl in her younger years.I also witnessed her being passive aggressive towards a student for spelling a word wrong on the board.I’m pretty sure that student is still traumatized by how she treated them. If anything, I don’t think she is fit to teach.If she ever reads this: You’re a god awful person for the way you treat some of your students. I wonder how you sleep at night with how badly you’ve treated kids over the years. Unacceptable and horrible.

La escuela es muy buena, la atencion con los padres, las actividades, la educación especial, todo me encanta.

Our entire family went through this school. We had many instances of bullying and even broken bones that were not addressed. The principal denied it even though the evidence of the attack was still there to be seen. Another parent had to sue them to get their child's injuries paid for. Some of the teachers were not up to par even announcing on parent night that we should not try to contact her outside of school hours as she is working on her Master's Degree and will not respond. She also did not respond when we contacted her during school hours. I ended up sending our last child to Prairie Crossing in Middle School and am so glad we did. She was an Illinois State Scholar and light years ahead of her old classmates at Woodland. Woodland has lower level teachers over all although there are a few bright spots. The principals have been very bad at the elementary level but the middle school level they are more within the norm. I am writing this as a teacher in another district and parent. To taxpayers, beware! This districts spends a lot on salaries and little on students.

This school truly isn’t as bad as everyone says I think one of the best parts is the diversity and cultural in this school and they do have some really good teachers and I’ve learned lots.

The school provides a great education and includes plenty of activitities for the students to get involved in.
