Open Quote As a former student of this school, I have nothing good to say about the teachers of the school.
1.They treated us like preschoolers but expected us to act like adults, placing an unreasonable amount of pressure on us to grow up faster.
Kids aren't perfect and the fact that you shame them for making mistakes SPEAKS VOLUMES
2.They do nothing about bullying and act like they do with those anti bullying programs.
3.The teachers are very biased and only favor the kids who are smart and shame the ones who are struggling academically.
4.They even talk smack about you right in front of your face and when you try to defend yourself they accuse you of "talking back" (the art teacher made fun of how I didn't use a ruler to draw my lines correctly)
5. some teachers have temper and anger management issues one example is how I went back into the building to get my pencil case and this teacher just screams in my face acting like I committed a crime

So don't send your kid to this school unless you want them to have a poor self esteem and question whether they're good enough
the only good thing that came out of this was the school events Close Quote

Open Quote You need to expand it and grow fresh vegetables, not frozen vegetables. I suggest that you should get a smartboard to very class and update the Chromebooks. Don't give students dirt ones, clean them before you give them. I saw many students unhappy that their Chromebooks are dirty.This is my rating on Woodbrook so far. Close Quote

Open Quote Additional space for a gymnasium and cafeteria are badly needed. Other than that the quality of education is excellent. Teachers do a great job with the facilities and equipment they have Close Quote
