What is Special About Our School?

Woodmont K-8 School provides students with a warm, safe, and supportive environment that enables them to continually work toward improved academic achievement. This school serves a multi-ethnic population of 470 students. This diverse student population gives everyone connected with the school the rich opportunity to learn about world cultures.

Classrooms are composed of gifted students, students who need special assistance, and students who are striving for excellence in math, music, science, writing, and speaking. It is a challenge to meet the needs of all these students, but Woodmont staff uses a wide variety of teaching and learning strategies so that students can attain academic and teamwork skills that allow them to grow. Students are thoughtfully placed where they have the most opportunity to succeed. Different teaching strategies are used to target varied learning styles and abilities.

Woodmont practices a comprehensive student discipline plan, which emphasizes consistency and promotes a positive attitude. This program assists students in being responsible for their behavior.  It also promotes direct communication between the parents and school staff.

The PTA provides money for enrichment activities and gives scholarships,. Community and parent volunteers tutor, lead small groups, and read with students.

Woodmont provides students the opportunity to continue their education through the eighth grade.  Students in K-8 schools are known by many adults and have reduced feelings of anonymity; the environment is more personal allowing for a greater connection between the home and school environment.   Students run the ASB and yearbook learning valuable accounting, marketing and communication skills.  Intervention classes if needed are specific to identified student needs.  Teachers work closely with high schools to ensure students are prepared for future success utilizing AVID strategies.
