I have two academically advanced kids at Woodburn and my experience has been excellent. It's a very socioeconomically diverse school, and I think you can see the benefit of that to the kids. The school might look bad on test scores, but my experience is that's a product of its diversity and not a reflection of the quality of the education or the experience there. Close Quote
