My children attended Woodman school in the 90''s. It is a wonderful school! This report doesn't tell you about the culture at the school. Classrooms have multiple ages of students. The older children help the younger children with their studies. They make sure there is no bullying going on. The younger students know that they can get help from the older students for almost anything. I can't account for the low scores of this school, but the tradeoff in learning good citizenship and civic responsibility is well worth it. Go Woodman!
