We've only been here for two years, seventh and eighth grade. The middle school is so impressive…read more 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!)

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.

I just walked my daughter to this school for the last time *tear drop* #LastDayOfSchool…read more She attended this school for only her 5th grade year. 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.

This school (660 McWilliams Rd SE, Atlanta, GA 30315) puts children into danger during pick up and…read moredrop off. I just saw a white passenger van parked crosswise, blocking both sides of the street, and picking up children while doing it. I watched vehicles parking, driving on - and over - sidewalks with kids walking on them. They block the road for a solid hour to the point that no emergency vehicles could possibly get through. They don't direct traffic, though they do have people standing in the middle of the road. This has to stop, it's dangerous. Don't send your kids here if you care about them.

Not only is he reading, has great penmanship, he shows great confidence in his work and is always eager to tell me when he is learning something new. His kindergarten teachers were Mr. Gaskins and Mr. Pearson. Such a great team and set the foundation with him to support his growth in various areas. They always encouraged him and collaborated with me to prepare him for first grade & for him to see representation and excellence in black men on the daily was a great big deal for us. I wanted him to know all things are possible and he can be anything he put his mind too. I just wanted to say thanks and give some positive recognition And a big shout to his first grade team Mrs. Hudgeons and Ms. Sadler he will be overly prepared for second grade. Thank you guys for all that you do. Your hardwork never goes unnoticed or unappreciated.

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.

This review is for the track not the school.** I love this track, it's great for trying to get in…read moreshape. I feel safe here and I love that so many in the community come out to get in shape. You can either walk the track or up and down the hilly area around the entire school (which is two miles). Sometimes like during my walk today there are practices or classes that make it difficult to walk in peace but what can you do, it's their track lol. But I enjoy seeing them and watching them strive to become great athletes. If you're looking to start working out and prefer not to spend money at the gym, or endure the awkwardness of "gym politics" then this is a great alternative.

My 3 years here were the best years of my entire educational career - including college and grad school! This place really is the most amazing school ever. I remember my first day just like it was yesterday. I was accompanied by one of my best friends, who was also making the big switch to a more civilized school. We sat in front of the bathrooms for like 10 minutes trying to figure out which one was for boys and which was for girls. Turned out you just use whichever one is open! In addition to just being an awesome environment, where you are accepted for being whoever you are, Paideia has a great curriculum. The year is divided into short and long terms. In the long terms, you take the standard stuff - physics, math, languages, etc. The short term is for classes that are a little more outside the box - Sociology of American Rock & Roll anyone? The teachers here are absolutely outstanding! You can totally tell that they love the school and truly believe in it's mission. And Paul, the headmaster, is just an all around great guy. Graduation was awesome. My graduating class was 57 people and Paul made a short speech about every single one of us! I am so thankful that I was able to go to Paideia on a scholarship. I regularly give them money so that others can do so as well. I am also backing them in their efforts to take over the whole block! Go Paideia!
