Woodland Park Elementary opened its doors to welcome students on August 10, 1987.  The school was built to consolidate three former elementary schools that were located in Sparta.  Baker Elementary, East Sparta Elementary, and West Sparta Elementary were closed in 1987 and students began attending Woodland Park.  

Woodland Park is located at 88 Panther Drive, Sparta, Tennessee on a twenty-three acre sight off of Highway 111.  The building is a one-level structure that measures 71,500 square feet.  In 1993, four classrooms were added to meet the state guidelines to lower the student/teacher ratio.

Since its beginning, in 1987, Woodland Park has made many changes and improvements. Through the ongoing efforts and dedication of the PTO, community volunteers, parents, teachers, staff, and students we will continue to look ahead and create an environment where each student can feel safe, learn, and excel.   Our history is a rich one with many leaders, teachers, staff,  and former students who are active in our community.  Woodland Park is proud of our past and looks forward to a bright future for our faculty, staff, students, and community.

We, the faculty of Woodland Park, believe that we should provide the children with the basic learning skills they will need to function

We, the faculty of Woodland Park, believe that we should provide the children with the basic learning skills they will need to function satisfactorily as they advance to the next level of learning and daily life.  We aid children in the development of self-help skills, social skills, and attitudes.  We attempt to provide enrichment experiences in the cultural areas.  We believe the community is responsible for cooperation with the faculty and staff.  The community should provide cultural and financial support. Interpersonal relationships between and among students should promote tolerance of differences as well as cooperation.  Feelings, property, and personal well-being should be respected.  Mutual respect and a cooperative effort promote a desirable student-staff relationship.  Acceptance of differing teaching styles creates positive professional relationships.  Teachers should be worthy of the community’s respect and trust.

We strive and expect to instill positive attitudes and encourage the student to accept self-responsibility. We provide a structured environment in which the students can practice good citizenship.  These skills and attitudes should enable students to develop into responsible adults.
