Great school! teachers pour their hearts over teaching and are very nice.

I graduated from Woodbridge a few years ago and I would say I had a pretty okay experience. The teachers are fantastic but the students make the experience worse than it should be. IUSD schools in general are pretty competitive and there's a lot of pressure to do well, especially from other students. This is especially bad in the honors/AP classes but the CP classes are alright. Woodbridge is probably one of the less academically competitive schools compared to the other IUSD high schools but it's still up there. Personally, I don't think Irvine schools are worth all the hype. I am a STEM major at a top UC now and I still think my classes at Woodbridge were more difficult to get A's in. If I had a choice, I would have chosen to live somewhere with great school ratings but not cutthroat competitive, like the Saddleback Valley or Capistrano Unified School Districts. IUSD taught me that high grades are the only things that matter, not to appreciate learning for what it is. If you are the parent(s) of young children looking to move to a good school district, I would recommend against IUSD for the kids' sake.

We have been at Oak Creek for five years and since Chris Weber came in as the new principal beginning in the 2022-2023 school year, the school environment has definitely shifted in a more positive way. Dr. Weber is responsive and engaging and available not only to students but to parents and by extension so is the assistant principal, Dr. Michelle Hulley. I have been impressed with them and I am glad they are on board. With that said, the school is overcrowded. The ratio of students to teachers is at least 30:1 so unless your student is already high achieving, there is a good chance they will struggle in the traditional classroom environment here. We need more teachers to keep class numbers lower and therefore better support academic progress. We are fortunate to have a lot of cultural diversity because of the area and I appreciate that my children are learning about other holidays and cultures and hearing other languages regularly. The PTA is generally very well ran and financially well supported but is quite clique-ish so keep that in mind if you are hoping to get involved. Unless you are in the inner circle of this PTA clique, you will not be invited or included in anything even when you try to volunteer. And aside from the PTA there are no other opportunities to be involved at the school. Even the room parents are chosen by the PTA. It’s like high school all over again and they are the mean girls.
