This is a great school. I have two kids at this school with one graduating this year. My senior…read morestarted here as a sophomore and my youngest started in eighth grade. This has been the best move for my kids. The teachers care about the students and go above and beyond for them. My only issue with the school has been some and only some of the administration. I believe there is a lack of authority when needed sometimes. I seems as though if it is a student with parents who are donators or of some importance those kids are not disciplined in the same way as others. I have seen some kids get expelled or suspended and others just get a slap on the wrist for the same or even worse discrepancies. With an administration change this school could be amazing!

They had a great idea to give the students two sets of books. One set for school and one set for…read morehome. No forgotten books the night before a test. At 7th grade on students do not have yellow buses to get two and from school. They use public transportation. I would not want my eleven year old taking public buses with the general public. A couple magnet schools have busses. That is the rare exception. They need their own bus system for junior and senior high. The education uses the same state text books Catholic schools use. It's up to the student to put in the work irrespective of all else. If a student works hard they will be prepared for the ACT and college. Most schools are not safe for non-African American students. That's something the school board and NOPD school prioritize. Diversity is need because the job market is diverse. A good school system with excellent extracurricular activities. There is something for everyone. Once again it's up to the students to put in the work. Despite lack of funding parents should support their children. Parents should attend open houses even if they have to get a ride or walk. One's child's education is a key to success as an adult. To break the generational curse of poverty parents should support teachers who discipline children. Monitor your child's study habits and grades. Children will under perform if parents don't set the tone that discipline study habits at home are important. Get a chair and desk for your child. Use positive reinforcement to motivate your child. Don't allow your children to think small. Getting in trouble at school and with the law should be a no go. Teach your children that they may find out that breaking the rules and not getting in trouble only goes so far. Eventually luck will run out. Orleans Parish schools can provide a path to a prosperous future but parents have to keep children on task.

This review is for the Preschool at Woodland…read more We've had kids here for 2 years and they love it. The teachers absolutely love the kids as if they were their own which is all you can ask for. While some preschools focus so much on academics, Woodland allows kids to do what they do best - play. My kids come home with crafts every week and beg to go to school over holidays and the summer. They always have holiday programs for the kids and who doesn't love to see their three or four year old in a Christmas play? Tuition is not horribly expensive like other preschools in the city. Parents tend to be regular middle class people of a variety of faiths (we're not Presbyterian per se). It does fill up, so check with the office well in advance of the beginning of the school year.

The portal is abysmal; every teacher has a different way of posting to it or not using it at all. I don't know why they don't just use Google Classroom. My son developed severe anxiety and was even throwing up consistently from such a punitive and unsupportive environment. It is really a "no excuses" style school without the support for students. The counselors are overworked and ineffective, and we could not get any help. There is no program to assist ADHD or other common learning differences, only detention and other shaming, as the disciplinarian routinely calls the boys morons. The teachers are painfully ignorant about ADHD, in fact, I was told many times that my son is too smart to have a learning disability and that he just was lazy and not trying. Outside testing proved otherwise. The one accommodation they have to provide by law is extra time for tests, and he was denied that service on multiple occasions. There is also a lot of racism at the school that goes unaddressed, which was deeply unsettling. The years we tried to make this school work were traumatizing for the whole family and we are happily back at public school now.

This daycare center is absolutely HORRID. There isn't enough food for the children staying there…read more(unless it's an infant, in which the parent brings the formula), the children don't get changed and are forced to take three hour naps. When asked for juice or water, they are refused. There are no activities or fun things to do with the kids. Employees only have the children seated and are told to 'shut up' and watch TV. Outside time is minimal and they can have up to 35 kids out in the rusty rug-covered dirt playground with only one supervisor attending to the children. Children are constantly yelled at and never learn a thing. The teacher: student ratio is absurd. The daycare center refuses to hire any more employees and when State Licensing visits, are lying about certain employees who don't have their background checked just because the owner doesn't want to spend the money. There are no snacks for the children. According to the list of activities for the day, the children are to receive a snack before lunch, a snack after nap, and a snack before the child is picked up. Their snacks consist of 2 (two) vanilla wafer cookies or half of a graham cracker. This, I believe, is not sufficient enough for the kids, especially for the fact being that there is not enough food during lunchtime for the kids. During lunch, the kids are asked who does and doesn't want to eat. Those who don't want to eat don't get food. For those who don't finish their food, the food is transferred onto another plate into The kitchen and is given to the next child. The three buildings are infested with termites, roaches and ants. Cheap spray is being used to treat the buildings. It obviously isn't working. For your child's safety, please refrain from signing up to this daycare. The owner and director are never there and only talk you up to keep you from taking your child out.
