"Mixed feelings about our experience"

We've had a bit of a mixed experience at Woodlands School. While we appreciate the extra support and resources they offer, we've sometimes felt that the communication with teachers could be better. That being said, our child is happy and engaged, and we appreciate the emphasis on social-emotional learning.
