Gladys Wood is a K-5 elementary school that houses approximately 450 students. We currently have 18 regular classroom teachers, 3 special education teachers, a librarian, physical education teacher, music teacher, half-time art teacher, half-time health teacher, an Assistant Principal and about 15 other support staff. We are also housing a neighborhood Head Start Pre-School program for children ages 3-5 years old. (5 year olds that cannot start kindergarten). We are part of a strong community and work to provide our students with rich experiences both in and out of the classroom.  About 50 percent of our students are considered to be low-income and/or represent a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds.

Our school helps students succeed through quality staff, parent involvement and community partnerships.

Parents play a crucial role in establishing school goals and making sure their children do well in school.
