Woodrow Wilson High School (dallas)

Parts of northern Dallas, including Swiss Avenue , Mount Auburn , Junius Heights , Lakewood , Munger Place , and Hollywood Heights , are served by Woodrow Wilson High School.

Woodrow Wilson, which serves grades 9-12, is a part of the Dallas Independent School District . The school is colloquially called "Woodrow" by students and community members. The school was opened in 1928 .

The mascot of the school is the Wildcat.

In 2005, Woodrow had more National Merit Semi-finalists than Frisco High School and the same number as nearby Lake Highlands High School ( RISD ), a much-larger public school.

The 250-member Woodrow class of 2005 earned nearly $4 million dollars in scholarships.

Woodrow Wilson is one of only two high schools to be the alma mater of ''two'' and Tim Brown . This is in spite of the fact that Woodrow Wilson has historically had a weak football program (though in recent years the program has improved).

FEEDER PATTERNS

As of 2006 and [http://www.dallasisd.org/eval/schoolinfo/feeder/skyline_wilson.htm , PK-6 Elementary schools that are zoned to Woodrow only include Oran M. Roberts, Recognized-ranked Lakewood (South of Mockingbird), and Robert E. Lee. K-6 Elementary Schools include Recognized-ranked Stonewall Jackson. 4-6 schools include Eduardo Mata. Pre-K-3 schools that feed into Mata and Wilson include Exemplary-ranked William Lipscomb and Recognized-ranked Mount Auburn (north of I-30).

Parts of J.L. Long Middle School are zoned to Woodrow and Long only. Other parts have a choice for middle school (J.L. Long or John B. Hood) and for high school (Woodrow or Skyline).

This year, students from nearby Bryan Adams and Hillcrest may transfer from their home schools to Woodrow due to the academic deficiencies at those schools.

Starting in the 2006-2007 school year {Link without Title} , the Skyline and Wilson option will no longer be offered. All of the area in the option zone will become Wilson and J.L. Long only.
