Both of my sons attended Lakewood Elementary. The teachers and community are supportive, and the academics are rigorous. The outdoor area (LOLA) is awesome for those of us who love being outside- it's a little trail system on the grounds of the school and was always my kids' favorite part of it.

I am a former student of JL long. I left due to an incident that happened there. But that isn't the reason I'm here to talk. I wanted to share how this school is bad. I went to this school in 2021-2022, I was in 7th grade. The safety for students isn't good, fights would happen every single day. Everyone would go to the hallways and try to watch the fight take place. I stayed away from that stuff. The student social media pages are also very bad. The worst ones are on Instagram, but I won't get into that. I pity anyone who is innocent and goes here for the first time. I understand that this is a public school and its kind of hard to handle 1480 kids at once, but if you are going to make it like an environment where I can't work right, then you just cant handle a school. Thats the end of my review. Thank you for your consideration.

Coming from private education K-8, the Woodrow experience has been amazing. Woodrow's IB program is allowing kids to excel in liberal arts, the STEM academy is accredited with PLTW, the premier STEM program, The Business academy is NAF certified, and the CAPA academy is famous for it's long tradition of the annual broadway musicals.The majority of the students are living under the poverty line, yet the school's results are the best in Dallas ISD for a 'choice' school (aka non-magnet).
