I'd definitely say WSHS is high spirited about their magnet clubs and classes. A majority there want to pursue their professions at the school and take them seriously. Especially, with the school doing things like magnet showcases, concerts, performances, and art shows, allows the students to show their skills. About most of the teachers I've had were decent in teaching whatever subject. Aside from the school being a Magnet School, it gives you more range in variety for classes, especially in the science department. The counselors seem to be determined to point the students in the right direction for college as well. They offer monthly scholarships, FAFSA meetings , and other college readiness programs. For the clubs and activities there, they are very involved. Safety wise, the school's pretty alert on keeping the school secure.
Years ago, when I was an incoming freshman to Woodside, I remember feeling the overwhelming sense of excitement and belonging on my first day stepping foot into the school. There is an aura surrounding Woodside and it befriends all that stammer upon it. The school's friendly atmosphere isn't its only charm, it's also extremely diverse both racially and academically. Woodside is a magnet school meaning that is specializes in the talents of the students. The classes range from guitar to architectural design and many more. There is something for everyone at Woodside and there is a great chance that you'll make many friends on your journey as well!
This school had crowded halls but mainly due to many students from all over the city wanting to apply and be part of this school. Woodside High is a magnet program, so you can only imagine the amount of talent this school had. This school offered magnet programs such as music, art, dance, communications, drama, etc. Not to mention we had 8 minutes to go to our next class, which I believe is a much longer time compared to other schools. The teacher and staff are great and really showed they cared for their students. This school also offered different varieties of clubs and activities that are perfect for each student's interest. The sports are huge as well, and the staff work well and train the students well also. Highly recommend this school.
