Woods Elementary School

We have loved our time at Andy Woods! The staff is very kind and welcoming, always remembering parents and siblings when we come in. Our daughter’s teachers have been so wonderful!! Only good things to say about this school

We could not love Woods more! The staff goes above and beyond and it is so comforting to know our child is in the best hands. We are so very thankful we get to attend Woods and for the top notch education our children receive.

We love woods and love all the events to engage parents

I have never experienced a school with as much love, compassion, and grace as Andy Woods. Andy Woods is so much more than just a school it is a close-knit community / family. The principal and teachers truly care for each student and parent. I've never felt more welcomed at a school- from the students and teachers opening the doors each morning with a "good morning have a great day", to the principal and or assistant principals standing at the entrance offering words of encouragement as you enter in the building, to being able to walk your child to his classroom each day and say hello to your child's teacher. These little details that Andy Woods pays attention to sets them apart from EVERY other school in TISD. Andy Woods is truly phenomenal. I believe this school is set apart from all others in large part due to the heart of their fearless leader Ms. Jones. She genuinely has a heart of gold. I love how Andy Woods does not want anyone to feel left out. For example, this year during the book fair the school created a fund parents could send money to provide books for children that had not received one on the last day of the book fair. It's so heartwarming to see this school care not only about our children's academic future but also instill values of dignity, integrity, and compassion. In addition to having an amazing principal Andy Woods has exceptional teachers. Mrs. Rachel Diaz works tirelessly to ensure each kindergarten student has every opportunity /resource available to succeed. I love her passion for teaching it truly shines though in each of the children as they are excited to go to school to learn. What a wonderful foundation for learning she has set! Mrs. Diaz, Ms. Jones, and the entire staff at Andy Woods Elementary are truly God sent miracle workers. I am so thankful for each and every one of the members of this incredible team.

Woods Elementary has far surpassed any and all expectations I had for my child's education. I have personally worked at several elementary campuses and this is where I feel my child will have the best experience. Staff morale is high which trickles down to student success and happiness. My child reads above grade level, and I was originally worried that she would get bored. However, over the past two years, her teachers, and the campus as a whole, have been able to differentiate instruction for my child so that she remains engaged and excited to learn. She looks forward to going to school every day and is always excited to talk about what she has learned and the activities she participated in throughout the day. There are also many activities throughout the year for student enrichment in other areas. PE, music, and art are definite highlights in my child's day and I'm so glad that she is getting a well-rounded education that includes not only academics, but also physical health, fine arts, and social-emotional skills. Besides the education, we have also been very pleased with the parent engagement. Parents are invited to take part in the PTA as well as activities throughout the year like field day, Parents in PE, class parties, and the Spring Carnival. Teachers have been very communicative and keep parents informed. I always feel welcome on campus and love that I get to be part of my child's education.
