- i am a student at Woodward park and i can tell you first hand that are school is safe. i don't know what day you came to my school but there is no pushing, shoving, or kicking in the hallways. Are school has a zero tolerance for violence. we are one of the best schools in the district . That is why we have so many kids in the hallways because we are a good school and people want to get in. We have the most after school actives . We have one on one teaching and if we still need help with something we can come for lunch and/or after school.plus we have one of not if the best band ever. So before you call our school bad and hazards, you should now that we are safe. We try are best and know that are teachers really care about us. You should be happy and proud that your daughter gets to go to Woodward. I am sad that i have to go to 9th grade next year because i have to leave this wonderful school. these have been 3 of the best years of my life.
