Two kids were stabbed in the neck, and there was a fire set in the bathroom
Posted by a community member on 1/7/2026This school needs some work. Throughout my sophomore year there have been many problems ranging from teachers to students. Some students really don't care and I'm in honors classes. Partially I feel some teachers don't care either. Some teach what would be taught in a special needs class. I don't fe

Posted by a student on 10/13/2011I graduated from Overton in 2008. Overton had its good and its bad moments. I was apart of the CAPA program and I loved it; however, outside of that, it didn't make it any different from any other public school.

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 Review6y ago - 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 ago - Harding Academy at White Station

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI moved from Woodland to Harding last year and couldn't be happier. Unlike our old school, Harding truly cares for your child and shows it in many ways. The curriculum is on target and the projects they are required to work on are so enriching.Parent Review12y ago - Elliston Baptist Academy
