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.

Quick look rating: 4/5 Experience…read more ***To Note: I do not go to this school or have gone to this school, but I can tell what I have observed from voting here at this school. *Pro's: ~ When I have run by I have seen a coach out here, instructing his group on to do different running drills that are top notch on building speed with the twitch muscles. This instruction made me take a strong notice on the positive view of this school. ~ To the north of the school, their athletic grounds keep improving in upgrades! Big plus in my view is the constant improvement in the kids physical programs investment in time and energy! ~ I noticed they have an outdoor eating area, it is fenced area, which I view as healthy keeping the kids away from any drug trafficking. ~ I like that they have a ROTC program. It gives the chance to advance in our national programs. ***It's difficult for me to really rate this school. I only go here to vote. Will I return? Yes, I am only coming back, but only to vote. Well, I am concerned about your future and the folks who make the decisions for us, so Yes, I'll be back to help VOTE on those on the folks that make a difference in our life!

**DO NOT PUT YOUR CHILD(REN) IN THIS SCHOOL**…read more Where do I begin... I transferred my daughter from a different school district to this school because we moved & I just knew from the beginning this was about to be the worst experience ever! Let me start with the staff. As a parent who's child attends here I feel some of the staff is not set out to teach so that the students learn. I feel that they are either there for a check or there to teach and belittle the students. I do not feel some of the counselors ensure their portion of the students are on track WHEN THEY encounter an error. I feel they simply think "hum...oh well." Their phone system SUCKS!! The call drops after their ringing music plays after a few seconds and it seems as if NO ONE EVER answers the counselors line! I feel this school needs TOTAL RESTRUCTURE!! I am furious that they have someone teaching math that barely speaks English and you had the audacity to have the same teacher teaching in summer school!! How can any monolingual child learn that way? I know my daughter will not be attending this school next year and I sent positive energy to every student/parent who attends this school.

In October 2021, my black daughter was called the n-word by a white student. Simply because he…read morethought it would be funny and embarrassing to do so. My daughter acted immediately to inform the AP and share her witnesses. Once home she also informed her parents. However, I was never notified by the school. The next morning I arrived to talk to the AP who acknowledged his error in not informing us (however, this lack of communication continued as I had to consistently follow-up). The AP shared my daughters account of the situation was accurate. I stated given the hateful nature of intimidation and bullying, the child should be removed from my daughters classes as well as receive out of school suspension. Neither occurred. The overarching theme in the handling of this has been to dismiss and ignore. The messaging to my daughter and our family has been- its okay. As an adult female who has lived in several parts of the country I have NEVER had this experience- yet, while at HPMS, my 13 yr old daughter has. For the record, this behavior is UNACCEPTABLE. Given the lack of response and concern, this behavior will not only continue at HPMS but fester. It is apparent the safety of their students- both mentally and physically- is not a priority and I will be removing my daughter from the district.

My experience in Hillcrest High School has so far been the worst for my sophomore year. It was the…read moreworst during my freshman year last year but this school has drained my energy enough.. The school feels like a freaking prison. The staff doesn't do their job well, the program sucks when it comes to performing arts, and most of all, students here are unrealistic. Always making me feel like an adult here and I'm a student. Last year I tried my hardest to address the teachers and Mr. Flourie about non-black students saying the N-Word. None of them did a single thing to actually prevent this problem. For example, I came to Mr. Flourie's office and addressed him about the boys who I have told constantly to stop saying the N-Word. He said he understood and he knows a lot of students come to him about this situation. I also told him if he could bring every student to the auditorium and tell them what the word means. And told him if he doesn't then I'll do it myself. Later on, he actually came into my biology class and told everyone not to say it. And that's all. You can't just come into a classroom and expect the students to stop saying it. As an African American it feels very offensive to hear it come out of any non-black person's mouth like it's a word we use as a joke. This is a school I'll be giving no stars to, I will not recommend you to go here. Most parents and students here share their problems with the staff but sometimes it's never solved. The security guards are the people who make the experience feel like a prison, especially the council for me. If they see you walk in the hallway, like two times, they'll say, "You've been walking in this hallway too much," usually it's the 10th grade sophomore who says things like that, always being exaggerated with students. Then the female security guard who wears braids is the one who always yells at children for the smallest reasons. She wants to find a problem with every little thing, if there was a student who's in a marching band and eating next to the hallway during lunch, she'll literally scream at them. This security guard is jealous of almost half of the students there at school. The sophomore council and the security guard are mainly the two people who make me feel like I'm in a prison. I have a lot of problems at this school and honestly I'm done with everyone... If you're planning on going to this school I sure do hope you have a better experience than me. And if it turns out like mine then try to make the best of it. Sincerely Lady Chelsie :)

I don't understand how you could enter a new environment and expect students and staff to just respect you. She isn't representing the black community in the right way. This school has to do better. Since she walks around with papers in her hand, she needs to take notes on how to fix the school instead of picking on teachers, students, and staff. She will be the reason many more kids will stop showing up. She should've built her way up. I'm highly, highly disappointed.
