"This school is full of a bunch of yuppie clicquey parents with rich spoiled kids. Teachers are good, admin is bureacratic with a board that only cares about the image of the school (don't get our new school dirty!). I have more than these people but it's annoying when they instill this attitude in their kids. Lacks in diversity so they shuttle the poor minority kids in from e. palo alto. A very sheltered academic environment full of ivy league wannabes."

"While this school indeed has the resources to educate the children. It pretty much is run like a bureaucracy. I don't agree that this school educates "the whole child", as one other reviewer suggested. Instead, it is the same as most public schools which drill for testing standards. In fact there is NO education on virtues or etiquette, or simply. while this may be the parents domain, I have seen other schools which celebrate and award good virtues. The other pitfall at theis school, which is just reflection of the the community itself is the "clickiness" Be prepared for it, it is fierce. Woodside is very aware of social classes. An unfortunate truth."

"This is the greatest school on earth. To this day, my closest group of friends has remained the same since we all joined forces back in kindergaten. Great academics, sports, and an unparalleled community atmosphere. I wish I could go back and re-live my woodside elm days..."
