Woodward Academy Lower School (4-6 grades) is not the place to send your child. The administration is 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. read more

I learned so much here! This school is incredible. I went off to college leaps and bounds ahead of my peers, not only academically, but also on an EQ level as well. FYI that is not me, that was all Woodward. read more

Coming from New York, and raised two sons who went to a private school and are doing quite well by going to private school. Yes, I highly recommend this school. My Granddaughter now attends Woodward Academy school, and she's doing well. I loved the diversity. She's nine years old and learning about the different cultures around her. She's now teaching herself how to speak Korean. I love it. read more

We've only been here for two years, seventh and eighth grade. The middle school is so impressive. I'm blown away everyday at how attentive the teachers and administrators are with the kids. My son has flourished here. He rides the bus to and from school everyday. They have a great system with stops all over the city. Their bus drivers are some of the safest in the country winning multiple awards over the years. It is also a very diverse learning environment earning an A+ on the Niche website. If you're considering private school in the Atlanta area you have much to choose from. I highly recommend Woodward Academy. Call for a tour! UPDATE: We're quarter into the school year of my sons 9th grade. EVEN BETTER THAN MIDDLE SCHOOL! He absolutely loves his school and teachers. They have so much time to finish assignments during the day. I see why Woodward grads are so ready for College. They learn time management early! Love love LOVE this school. (Wish I could've gone here!) read more

Woodward Academy is simply the best. My son attended middle & high school at WA and is now a freshman at Howard University. He is so prepared for the college environment. WA offers so many sports and clubs and offers a very diverse environment for learners. The counseling department at the upper school is excellent. If you are looking for a private school environment for your child, you should absolutely take a look at WA. read more

I have been a parent at Woodward for seven years and highly recommend the school. The academics are challenging yet the teachers and administrators want children to succeed and give them the tools and confidence to do so. My sons have great work ethics and know how to study, write and think. The arts and sports programs are wonderful no matter what grade-- being so large, the school has dozens of sports, clubs and activities. Best of all, they care about these kids. So many teachers have been there for years, and you can tell everyone who works there is happy to be part of the community. Happy teachers = happy students. read more

My husband and I have had our three children at Woodward for over 10 years. We cannot imagine a better place for our family.

The school is very diverse and good all around. I only know about the high school though. I have heard that the school lunches are amazing. Each department also works very hard to ensure that the student makes the most out of his or her education read more
