Our family has been truly blessed to be part of this school community. My daughter has attended…read morethis private Christian-based school since Pre-K 4, and she is now in 9th grade -- that alone speaks volumes about the trust and confidence we have in this school. From day one, we have been treated like family, not just another number. The staff, teachers, and leadership genuinely care about each student's academic growth, character development, and spiritual foundation. They take the time to know the students personally and partner with parents every step of the way. The sense of community here is unmatched. The values being taught align with what we reinforce at home, and the love, encouragement, and structure my daughter receives have helped shape her into a confident, respectful, and well-rounded young lady. We are incredibly grateful for the dedication, faith, and consistency this school provides. If you're looking for a nurturing, Christ-centered environment where your child is truly supported and valued, I cannot recommend this school enough.

The middle of the campus has two playgrounds, a basketball court, turf, and the exterior has a soccer field.

But everything has flaws and the flaws of this school is that the nurse does not care if you are hurt she will usually say "I'm on my lunch break so go away" or if you have thrown up she will say "he is not throwing up right now why should I help" and I'm speaking of this by personal experience because a kid I'm my class threw up so the teacher asked me to walk him down to the nurses office and when I got there I told her what was wrong and she said "he is not throwing up right now" but with a attitude and I don't like when people give me attitude so I gave her attitude back and she immediately started to help the kid.

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.

The teachers really do care, get to know the students, and are engaging. Its the administration that is chasing the almighty dollar and allowing terrible behavior from students against others.

BL tuition is too expensive for the abusive environment the kids have to endure.

A third grade teacher joined in on the taunting. In 6th grade a girl threatened to murder me and even had the entire plot outlined. Instead of expelling her, suspending her, they sent her home for the day and the next day she was back. Why? They didn't want to have bad press. I can recall sitting in the office as they begged my mom not to call the cops and tell them what this girl did. Hopefully she didnt become a mass murder at the ages between then and now. I know what they didnt do was protect their students. What they didnt do was give me a safe spot. And mostly what they didn't do was not make me feel as if I was worth it on this planet. Thankfully I had a mother who actually made sure my mental health from this torment at this school was dealt with. The only good thing about St. Augustine was Sister Patricia and Mrs. Misdale and Fr Ernie and Ms Dyer
