    I love that I'm both entering this school into the Yelp Dallas database and reviewing it first. As…read morea college employee, I went for a tour of this school and fell in love with the place. First, don't let the name fool you. It's not a school for black students, only. I was pleased to see that there are black, Hispanic, and white students at this school. The principal is genuinely excited about the opportunity he has to lead these boys and he gets even more excited when visitors arrive. He allowed me and my colleague to visit as many classrooms as we wanted and something really neat happened. In every class, a student would come to us and give us a personal greeting along with a brief description of what they were learning in class. How about this? One of the students in the Mandarin Chinese class, greeted us in the language! I met the physical education teacher who is actually engaged in teaching the students...physical education. He's not some old guy who stands over the students while they do push-ups nor is he a babysitter. The teacher actually spoke to us about his methods for evaluating the physical state of his boys. FYI, this is not a private school. It is a public school that has high standards for its students. I can't say enough about how great this place seems to be, and I'll make an effort to attend any events they hold.

    I do not even know where to begin with this school! As an educator, I have been in many schools…read morewhich claimed to be college prep but were nowhere near that. BOMLA is what all of those schools strive to be. Young men truly engaged in their classes. I was able to observe a robotics class, a flipped band class, a Socratic seminar where young men discussed a variance of religions. School and admin are dedicated and focused on building the characters of the pupils and that is truly wonderful to see. It was such a great experience, and I encourage any young man in the Dallas area to seek admissions. A public school with a private school experience.

    Woodrow works wonders. It serves a population which goes from the children of doctors, lawyers and…read moreother post-grad professionals to those whose parents didn't finish school in Mexico. This mix is unique, you won't find it at other schools. The social skills and friendships formed are as impressive as the academics. Speaking of that, The Dallas Morning News recently published that Woodrow is #1 in academic gains in Dallas. The school was redesigned three years ago into four college prep academies which offer AP and IB (International Baccalaureate). Woodrow and its feeder, J. L. Long Middle School, are the only two IB schools in Dallas. Transfers for those out of the attendance zone are available with applications starting in January. Unlike DISD magnets, Woodrow offers the full range of athletic and extracurricular activities. It is the quintessential American high school experience. The Lakewood area is a bit like a small town and many generations have attended the school resulting in many traditions and an extensive alumni network. My only gripe would be that the principal, going into his third year, is a little to strict on spirit and pep rallies. He does attend most sporting events, however. Overall, it's a great school and a true oasis of education in DISD.
