Woodinville High School

Woodin Elementary staff is exemplar of educators who care deeply about their students' educational experience and personal growth. Every year my son and daughter have had wonderful teachers. My son has learning differences and the staff have offered him comprehensive support through out the IEP process and goal setting for academic achievement. It's wonderful to watch him blossom as a learner and gain confidence in his skills. I highly recommend this school!

We are using a Brock's Academy tutor to help my 10 year old son with homework and basic organization skills. My son has ADD and a language processing disorder, and homework time is often a strain on our relationship. He looks forward to working with his tutor twice a week, and it gives both of us a break. We have been very happy with the services, and plan to use the tutor throughout the summer for both of our children.

Many reviewers are correct when they tout the excellence of the school. However, it is the classical Christian model that is excellent, rather than the administration of that model. Classical education teaches critical thinking, logical reasoning, rhetoric, philosophy and a biblical worldview. It’s the best possible education for discipleship. Classical education gives children the tools they need to combat the propaganda, moral relativism and the perversion of our culture and times.However, this school has a perfectionist model which has lent itself to pride. The administration can critique, but cannot receive feedback well. They treat parents as if they could not possibly possess valued insights when they come to them with concerns. They don’t problem solve, truly listen, consider ways to improve, or to grow, look for paths forward, or are solution oriented. They never apologize, regardless of how glaring the misstep. They simply recite their rehearsed rhetoric and send you on your way. It’s their way or the highway. They call themselves experts all the time and act as if they have no room for growth. Yet, many teachers and administrators do not have a background in education, or a higher education at all, or any professional experience beyond the walls of the school. On one occasion, I brought forward a concern and experienced an adhomonym attack, a red herring, and whataboutism logical fallacies, all in one setting. That’s not professional, or good customer service, or representative of a brand that espouses to combat such flawed ways of navigating the world.The education is good, but the pride, the pride, the pride. If you attend you won’t be sorry, but you will have to overlook a lot. Pray for the school and the prideful leadership. Humility is not one of the virtues promoted by the school, but it’s the only virtue that must be present for any of the other virtues to exist.

Pretty good so far. Very engaged teachers and teaching each kid individually to their own capability. Our kid is very happy at the school and mixed age classrooms and keeping teachers same for years is very good.

I have been sending my kids here for many years now. There are chairs and tables and their are walls and a roof on the school. I really appreciate the electricity in the lights, and the water in the sinks. One day my kid was eating a peanut butter sandwich and his best friend has peanut allergies. My kid is a rather messy eater. He got a little butter on the floor. And his best friend touched the peanut butter and he had allergic reaction. The teacher immediately rushed to the table and dealt with the situation. It was very professional and the teacher called me to let me know this had happened. I love this school it slays. The students are really respectful and I LOVE them to the bottom of my heart. I love Maria Montessori. I love this school so much I come here everyday except the weekends, EVEN ON WINTER BREAK. #iluvmariamontessori
