    "Having read recent disastrous reviews questioning the education and qualifications of the School of the Woods 2012 high school graduating class, I thoroughly researched the schools records since the first high school graduating class. It appears that the School of the Woods high school graduating classes are simply NOT, for whatever reason, welcome at top and even middle tier universities. The fact that even University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M and Rice are not welcoming School of the Woods graduates says it all."

    "I have to agree with the previous review - do not go here for academic - Verification of high school graduates and the mediocre (at best) universities which accepted them was not hard. Some preschool teachers are not very encouraging. Some children repeat preschool b/c they believe the child is not good enough to go to 1st grade. What a encouragement for the little one! They do not welcome anything negative from parents; that shows well that they have no room to improve themselves."

    "Daughter expelled from School of the Woods (10th Grade) in 11/2011 (mid-semester). Grades? 99, 99, 99, 96, 94 & 95. Expelled via email w/3 days notice. No conference, no meeting. Straight A student, stellar teacher recommendations, student @ SOTW since 4th grade. Why? We questioned academics. Here is an example. Teacher passes out syllabus for cycle covering 8 historic revolutions. Only 4 groups of students, so 4 of 8 are assigned for classwork. Each group shares a textbook, not to be removed from school. At end of week, teacher is to synthesize all 8. Gets backed up, covers 1st part of cycle (none of revolutions). Friday before exam, daughter has never put eyes on 4 of 8 revolutions, worked 1 w/her team & heard about 3 from other students. Review is day before test. Students take pages of notes and cram all night. 4 of 8 still not taught/reviewed (run out of time). Exam question 1? Chinese Revolution. 2? Scientific Revolution. Daughter never learned these revolutions. This happened every cycle. How did she overcome? Asked teacher to borrow textbook (Friday before exam), crammed all weekend @ library, photocopying encyclopedias. Self-taught Chinese/Scientific/Other Revolutions."

    "School of the Woods has been in BUSINESS since 1962. The first High School graduating class was in 2003. As a parent (SOW student) I was bombarded with over the top outlandish claims as to this school's achievements. Verification of high school graduates and the mediocre (at best) universities which accepted them was not hard. Also, no problem verifying whether or not the AP courses offered (no matter what SOW claims) are accredited and/or accepted by ranking universities. Certain information from SOW is very, very hard to get. OBVIOUS CONCLUSION: If academics is your goal, find another school."

    "My daughter attended Woods Upper Elementary, Middle School, and is now in Woods High School. This is a wonderful school. The faculty members are experienced, well-qualified, and take a personal interest in the students. Class size is small so everyone receives individual attention and guidance. Although the high school is small, it provides a lot of extracurricular sports and activities. The school has a real sense of community."
