"YWCA, Liberty Bowl and it's a very nice library on poplar. it's nice restaurants and other ammunities that you can use totally to your advantage. It's a very underrated area and it's good to build your knowledge of Memphis. Coming from Atlanta it was easy to love this area. Forcefully this security is important throughout this new journey. Daily traffic is undoubtedly an issue throughout this new city. Memphis has outstanding food. I mean the food is outstanding all over the city."

"My commute differs as I drive a lot for work. Poplar Avenue gives me trouble coming to and from home. There are other streets I can use to get home that do not cause as much traffic. 6/10 would recommend to a friend"

I respect the fact that it has helped me build character along the lines of understanding that life is unfair and what not but over all, no middle schooler deserves to be treated the way I was at this school.Other Review7y ago10 Reviews - Woodland Presbyterian School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI think that this school is amazing in terms of the education quality and overall learning experience. The teachers are very engaging and definitely stay on top of the students. The only thing I do not love is the church. I am not Christian and this school is very church based, though not as heavy as some others. Some of the teachers over enforce Christian beliefs and one even made a very rude comment toward people of any other religion. Through and through, Woodland is a great school for the education and small class sizes.Student Review2y ago27 Reviews - Christ the King Lutheran School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe enjoyed CTK for years but unfortunately itās been a mixed bag. Weāve dealt with bullies in the last year who continued to cause issues with no consequences or admin support. They also change policies and randomly enforce them. Weāve had several amazing teachers over the years despite the admin issues.Parent Review1y ago14 Reviews - Harding Academy at White Station
