Woodward Academy Lower School (4-6 grades) is not the place to send your child. The administration…read moreis nice, until you complain about the bullying or a teacher. When you complain Mrs Bragg quickly becomes rude and dismissive. They won't honor simple requests like classroom changes or any other suggestions, regardless of the situation. The counselors shouldn't counsel a trash can, definitely not a child. Mrs Lauchlan is pretty good at accomplishing nothing. Mr Lawrence isn't certified and he has the maturity level of a 6th grader. Bottom line: Look at the test scores compared to other private schools. The kids complain about the lunch. The co-curricular and athletic options are good. Your kid will be bullied. Your kids will receive a public school education with perks. Don't waste your money.

My child consistently shows me knock-down drag-out fights between Westlake students and others in the area. I am so disappointed that my child's high school experience has turned to crap, especially after 2 years of virtual school in this pandemic. The teachers are highly qualified and work hard, but the student body leaves much to be desired.

During graduation practice they had children crowded in the gym and various classrooms (many without masks) and took an ungodly amount of time to distribute chords and tickets. The rehearsal was supposed to end at 12 but we ended up leaving at 3.

I love the curriculum at this school. The staff is very friendly and the teachers are amazing,…read morethey show soooooo much dedication and passion for what they do and do so well with the students. They are constantly communicating with us parents and strive to instill excellence in every student, they expect the best and it shows everyday. I just wish they offered a high school program for Fulton county residents.

There's a teacher, Ms. Harris (currently) working at this school lying on children saying that they have been rude and disrespectful treating her and sending them home and getting juvenile involved for no reason. The teachers here are horrible and the admins don't do anything to try and help the students feel safe or mentally stable. The teachers are very disrespectful and they cuss and try to bully students making them feel uncomfortable. 5/10 school in Atlanta GA.

Overall I liked this school the teachers that my daughter had did extremely well. I was a little worried by this being a predominately black school. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It's always good thing to have a mixed crowd for some diversity. The school did have a little bit of an issue early this year with the assistant principle (you can google that) but it didn't effect anything with the students. I asked for a stronger teacher when I enrolled my daughter and they defiantly gave me that. Ms. Young was so good with my daughter and I appreciate teachers who have a general interest in your child and wants them to succeed. I wish duplicate her and have her as my daughters teacher until she graduates. I am a very involved parent and I could really see a lot of parents aren't. My daughter always had stories about little fights that happened and other behavior issues that she saw on some days. I don't blame the school at all. Parents should address that for the most part (my opinion). This school automatically gets free breakfast & lunch so no need to send money or fill out hardship forms if you usually do. The school is fairly new. Always clean (inside and outside) I've never seen any issues there or any strange smells.

He had been struggling to learn his entire academic career. His self esteem was low. Homework was a 2-4 hour struggle every night. Within a month of his attending Howard, we noticed a dramatic change in his attitude towards his education! His self confidence soared! 4 years later and we are still amazed at the education he is receiving! Warning! The school is far from cheap. Money well spent in my book!
