I can’t say enough good things about the Woodville School! The teachers, principal and PTO are all top notch!! The school communications are excellent and the secretary up front is a parent favorite :) The PTO hosts numerous events throughout the year for students and parents. Most field trips are free because of the fabulous PTO fundraisers. This school had a bad rep about 8-10 years ago because of a past principal. This school has come a long way and it is currently (by far) the best school in Wakefield. US Reports rates this school #1 in Wakefield as well. Go Bears!

We have just finished our pre school experience and could not be happier. The teachers and paras that we have had have been absolutely amazing, detail oriented, loving, supportive, and provide structure.Our son has loved his teachers and has built lasting friendships. We can see his academic growth, as well as his social awareness and growth as a well rounded child.We have had positive interactions with administration. The principal is an absolute love who pours her heart into the school and cares for every child that walks through the door.We are very happy to have found OLA and share this with everyone.

The negative review about this little gem of a school is, in my opinion, absolutely ridiculous. I am a parent of two children and I can tell you that I am not even sure that parent is even talking about the same school. This school accommodates infants through eighth grade with many different abilities (it’s called inclusion). It is not a public school, so they do not have the services or staff to have a sped ed program. All of the teachers are amazing at what they do. They are passionate about education and create an environment that allows children to learn and grow at their own pace. Is the building busy? Of course - there are many children who attend. Is it loud? Absolutely. I would be a little concerned if I went into a classroom and it was silent. When walking through the hallways you can hear singing, laughing, talking, excited screams. My kids come home from school talking about the amazing things they’re learning and field trips they went on. This school is amazingly unique.
