But one day, I got sent to the office, and they said that I get a detention because he was too scared. THATS HIS FAULT! NOT MINE! The second, I slapped someones butt as a joke. They took it too seriously, like literally. They called me down to the office again, and said he felt uncomfortable. I get he felt uncomfortable, but instead of trying to solve the problem and say, "hey, I felt uncomfortable, please dont to that again", he told on me! It was only a joke. The third/fourth, I accidentally gave someone food, but the assistant principal took it too seriously.

After talking to so many other parents that experienced and are experiencing similar issues as we did. I would feel remiss to not help another family trying to make a difficult decision to either put in or remove their child from WH. WH has a beautiful property and facade, there are some good people that work there. However, that is where my praise for WH stops. There are a few main issues that I and others have had with WH that I feel should be shared. They do not give you a good idea where your child is academically. There are very few points of contact from the teachers. They send home 2 very vague progress reports a year with "WH language" by which I mean they tend to use words that are very neutral or ambiguous. The 2 parent teacher conferences throughout the year are very short, and there is little time to discuss. When I was able to meet with the teacher, they would revert to a thing my child said which seemed to divert any attention from the teacher. Every meeting we had they said the same thing, anything else they said was generic and neutral. Multiple parents that I have spoken with that left the school were astonished about how far their child was behind. They were embarrassed to not have noticed it and had to hire tutors. More importantly. There is a MAJOR BULLYING PROBLEM. The concerns that I had brought up to the teachers were actually about bullying and not academics. Again, these concerns were brushed off with generic language like talking to a politician. We were assured that a specialist was going through every class, and urged to wait for that to happen. It was months before that specialist got to our classroom, and nothing changed. Several parents have contacted us with the same issue, asking to get together so that our children can play so they can feel better after being bullied all day in school. For two years my child told me when he walked into the school that he felt "empty inside". They would come home and tell us that it was the worst year of their life. They saw a child from WH and literally ran and hid because of how they had been treated. You can see the school trying to bring in faculty to address this problem. Ironically from my experience, the faculty that were tasked with this were the same faculty that clearly had no experience in child education and were the very faculty that made my child afraid and uncomfortable to walk into the school daily. There is a yearly fundraiser for WH where they hire a professional auctioneer. There are people that pay $30,000 for a reserved parking spot, that you will never see a car in. Do you really think they would tell the parent of that child that they were bullying other children or do anything about it? What some other parents said to me rang so true. WH is more like a daycare than a school. Sure, some children will thrive in this environment, and WH will be sure to prop them up on a pedestal when contested. If for any reason you are trying to decide if you should make a financial sacrifice to give your children, then I urge you to not make this choice. WH will make you feel like you can't get an education anywhere else, and if your child leaves you are doing them a huge disservice. It is a multi-level marketing \ cult mentality. Once you see through it is nothing but BS. If this review sounds jaded. It is. The experiences I was promised from WH were all false. They claim that the older children will build the younger children up, bring up their confidence, and foster a love of learning. In reality, mine's confidence and spirit was crushed. My child was frozen with panic, forced to skip recess and lunch. These false promises go right down the extra curriculars. You sign up for a cooking class and make brownie mix from a box. Leaving the school was the best decision we ever made for our child, and they are finally healing from the years of turmoil by attending there.

Where do I start?…read more This school encompasses everything that is good about Montessori school---they teach kindness and self-sufficiency and self-directed learning. My daughter learns so much there every day. Her teacher, Nancy, is the embodiment of calm and awesomeness--she's like a Zen master! We visited another school and my three year old daughter cried through the entire visit. When we visited Woodland Hill, she was calm and happy and said, "Mom, I really want to go to school there." I love their values around sustainability, peace, and treating others with respect. The school itself is exceedingly well-run, organized, and structured (in a good way). I feel that it is the best of all worlds, and the tuition is beyond reasonable for what they offer. There's a great community of families; I haven't met one single person I don't like, and people really work together. It's fun getting to being a part of this.

To preface, I attended this school from grades 4-8 (2010-2014), so it may have changed since then,…read morehowever I still feel the need to disclose my experience to any potential students and parents. The education I received at this school was subpar at best. When I began attending a public high school, I was behind, especially in math. Many of the teachers at the school were cruel and short tempered, for example I remember the preschool teachers yelling at the toddlers when they grew impatient. The after school care program was under supervised and dangerous. I remember protecting young children from being hit in the head with flying basketballs, and keeping them out of the unsupervised trouble they would have gotten into. I remember in one instance a child around 4-5 fell and inverted his elbow. it took several minutes to attract the attention of the adult who was meant to be supervising him. Moving away from the negligence and back to the subpar education, the seventh and eighth grade teacher who taught at the school for many years was under qualified and should have been fired many, many times (to my knowledge she has recently retired). We were publicly embarrassed in front of the class for low grades on projects and essays, which lead to severe stress for my friends and me. I have not felt such severe stress doing anything as I did attending school every day for those last two years. Our grades did not depend on our skill level, but rather how much that teacher liked us. She frequently lashed out and screamed at students bringing them to the point of tears for trivial reasons. We were not "bad", nobody misbehaved because we were terrified of the embarrassment, it was always over something academic, which is ridiculous. You should not punish a kid for failing, you should teach them how to do better. Our lessons revolved heavily around religion most days, which may seem like a good thing to many religious folks out there, however, I feel that I was robbed of the education my parents payed thousands for.
