[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were strongly considering a house in the Woodson district until I started talking with acquaintances who'd had kids there.   Time and again I heard stories of high stress, cut-throat competitiveness and bullying.  We decided to look elsewhere.[/quote]

Same here, PP. We opted for a house in another high school boundary.[/quote]

Is this true for all the elementary schools that feed into Woodson? We go to Olde Creek, and I see none of this. Families are so friendly, and the environment isn't cut throat. I'm wondering if something changes in middle and high school, or if other feeder schools (such as Mantua, Canterbury Woods, etc) are high-stress even in elementary school.

And do current Woodson parents feel this way? I thought the school had been making a lot f effort to improve on this front, although I don't know if they've been successful or not.  [/quote]

It's a parent/community issue. It's not the school. Best thing would be redrawn boundaries. The community needs a shake up. [/quote]
