He started having horrible melt downs before school and he became a challenge at home. Fall 2016 I enrolled him in WAS. We have never been happier! He loves his school so much. Mornings are great because he can not wait to get to school. The staff is amazing and attentive. He is starting basic math already and has a pretty good Spanish vocabulary. He has truly blossomed at this school and I can not say enough great things about everyone there.

From the owner: The Wood Acres School is a well-known and well-respected private, accredited non-denominational…read moreschool in Marietta, Georgia. Wood Acres has been educating students since 1969 and is proud of both its rich traditions as well as its focus on developing resilient, compassionate, engaging, and articulate young men and women ready to tackle life and living in the 21st century and beyond. The arts thrive at the Woods and STEAM(Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) also has a home here with a nationally recognized experiential science program as the adopted curriculum - all nestled on 9 acres with walking paths, playfields, and places to laugh, learn, and linger with friends, old and new.

The education Mr Barrera provides to his students is comparable to the education I received in an International Private school, he brought history to life right from his world literature class and changed our minds in the most positive ways with open ended class discussions about worldly issues, allowing students from different backgrounds to share their thoughts and ideas in a safe space for us to create a better common understanding of each other. It is teachers like him in Georgia who will positively change and enlighten future generations of adults to come. He teaches his students patience, respect, compassion of others, and understanding by treating them with such. He saw every student as an individual with a future and will do whatever he can to help his students get there, rather it's help with your college essays, write a college recommendation letter, or just be the one person who believes in you when nobody else does.

Our school resource officer caught me twice trying to leave campus because everyone preferred Chic Fila over cafeteria food.

I know the place can become dirty from games on Friday night but sometimes my son goes to train on a Monday or Tuesday and it looks as if it was right after the game. Now I can't help it that much but maybe some staff to clean up would help. Overall good place to train and good school but just a bit dirty.

I went to this school, and I can safely say this place was awful. The teachers have no respect for…read morethe students, not even the quiet kids who patently do their work. The school lies to the kids and says stuff like "you must have at minimum 7 AP classes to graduate"​ when that is frankly bullshit, and multiple of the teachers ignore students with IEP's. A math teacher at this school who I will call "Mrs. Brunch"​ took me into the hallway every single day, sophomore year, to demand I apologize to her for no reason and scream I'm wasting class time. She sent my mother 4 emails when I had the hiccups in her class stating "i was purposly disruptive" and demanded I get my meds changed becuse "they were causing my hiccups." She also reported me to the office more times when I could count. The only reason I finished that class with an A is becuse she couldn't fail me without proof, and I did all my work. The chorus teacher verbally abuses kids to tears, the band directors make the band kids stand in the sun till they PASS OUT, and racism runs rampant among teachers and students. I can't tell you if the other schools in the area are better, but the one good thing I can say about this place is that there isn't much open and outward bullying, and most students respect one another. If you ask any student at this school, they will either say they hate this place or they will lie out of fear. ​

these are some things that could be changed…read more First, there's the kids in the lunch line who go in front of you but do it sneakily. If you do send your kids here and the they're buying lunch, just know that the kids are going to try to go in-front of them even if you try to go back in front. And the lunch room is pretty loud, even though our grade was told to not be very loud, especially in a cafeteria. Second, the kids here say some bad words that they shouldn't say. They sometimes talk about inappropriate things too, but I don't see it happening around the teachers so I could see how that hasn't been fixed. Third, the lunch menu coordinators could maybe keep in mind that some people don't eat pork/cheese/tomatoes or are allergic, and they have a low spice tolerance. There was a day when there was spicy chicken and a sandwich that had the three ingredients I said above, and I couldn't really eat anything that day because of that. Fourth, some of the bus stuff could be improved too. Someone on my bus was eating some food and we couldn't use our phones. It also seemed like everyone wanted to be in their reputation era and not care about what anyone else cared about because this has happened for almost two weeks now. I would also like to say that this school has amazing teachers who try their hardest and are fun. They are super cool and I don't blame them but I also don't blame the kids because school is to learn, even for some people who have been here for 2+ years. There are definitely some things that could be improved though. Thank you for reading! I hope this helped you consider sending your child to this school. These are just things to look out for when/ if you send your child to this school.

The school looks really nice from the outside, the only place I really speak on is the gymnasium since that's where we spent the most time. The gym is really nice, the bleachers are the hard plastic and were the school colors and spelled out Cats in yellow. Nice touch. The auxiliary gym was hot and nothing to call home about but it served its purpose.

Now I really realize how messed up it was to mess with my mind just because you can't do your job. The inner mother in me wants to protect my younger self. I can't go back in time and fix anything. It took me until I was 35 to get on the correct medication because I had been medically, mentally , emotionally, physically , spiritually abused. I had no one I could trust or cared about me and was completely alone in the world. My Guidance counselor told me just to pretend that everything was ok when it was not ok. So I learned to disassociate and was forced in to the world a beat up and broken person. That is such a nice thing to do to our young females. Thanks for not giving me a chance at life.
