Our two children have both had fantastic experiences at Wildwood. They learned to be good students and both went on to excel in the upper grades.

Classes are overcrowded. First grades have one tired teacher working with more than 22 kids, many of whom have discipline issues.

Okay, Cool its fine I like it I just wish they could make it a tad bit more fun though, so yeah overall its fun, I really don't like the hat and Hoddie rule cause you can see the persons face perfectly with a hoddie up and with a hat backwards, how do they know your not just wearing it, you could be supporting somebody or whatever and the morning walk I wish they would stop cause kids who walk to school are tired when they come to school then depending when they come they have to walk like three times around, that's just not fair, but it's fine.

We have come to Wildwood this year with a 1st grader and Kindergartener. We have been welcomed by the principal, staff, and community. Our children's teachers are experienced and very perceptive, aiding in their transition. The community is very multicultural because of nearby UMass. We love that our kids will be exposed to a wide range of people. Each individual is made to feel special and supported. They have set the kids up to understand differences but to be inclusive of all. Thanks Wildwood!

Wildwood is a one of a kind school. With amazing, and supporting teachers who challenge the student with interactive lessons, while noticing if you are struggling. The students are amazingly friendly, and despise even the slightest amount of bullying. The diversity is high, which provides with a safe and learning community. Go Wildwood!!!!
