There are numerous factors that make Woodlawn Middle School one of East Baton Rouge Parish’s premier middle schools.  We have a wide range of academic programs including Gifted, Magnet, Scholastic Academy, Great Scholars, and a Talented Program.  Our gifted classes provide a high degree of complexity and extend beyond the prescribed curriculum offered in traditional classes.  The Magnet Program offers an accelerated and rigorous curriculum which will prepare students for college and career related paths.  Students will take specialized courses such as forensics and advanced robotics.  The Great Scholars Program offers instruction at an accelerated pace according to students’ academic needs.  In addition, our traditional classes give students the necessary skills to reach their full academic potential.  Furthermore, our special education classes are designed to provide individualized instruction.  All students have access to challenging and rigorous curriculum, with educational support.

 

We offer the required core curriculum subjects at each grade level as well as a rich variety of electives.  Elective classes include art, choir, band, strings, robotics, radio and TV broadcasting, drama, and technology application.
