I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SCHOOL!!! We have had the greatest experience- we moved from country life to city life and I was worried about the schools but Wilson is so fantastic!!! The office staff is INCREDIBLE- Amy & Leigh will help you figure out what needs to get done :) Amazing Principal- Mr.Forrest is actively involved with staff and students and truly cares!! We had opportunity of having Mr Barbato & Ms. Carlstrom for our kiddos teachers and they really showed care for making sure our kid was caught up and felt cared for! Highly recommend this school!! All the teachers here are fantastic and I also recommend volunteering! It gives fantastic opportunity for meeting staff and other parents and helps give the kids the best opportunities because teamwork really makes the dream work at this school!!

We have 2 kids at Wilson. Like all places, there are better teachers than others. But there has only been one teacher that we feel didn't address concerns towards our child's learning. He has ADHD and she would just send him into the hall when he was taking too much. But overall, most of the teachers care and we would choose this school again.

We have two kids at Wilson and we love this school. The new principal is excellent, and is making changes that are improving student achievement and family involvement.

Our family has had a great experience with Wilson. We have a 4th grader and a 2nd grader who have always attended this school. We see excellent leadership in the current principle. He has made changes that have made a difference. Most teachers genuinely care about the kids and are very engaged. Of course, there are some that perhaps are burnt out but that is everywhere! Class sizes are great and our kids the intervention necessary, when needed, whether the kids need to be challenged or more help. We are very involved in the available school activities. Our only complaint is that more parents aren't more involved. We appreciate the diversity of students at this school because it represents the real world and has helped prepare our children to interact with all sorts of different people from different ethnic, religious and socioeconomic backgrounds. Our experience has exceeded our expectation and our kids LOVE their school.

My daughter has just finished her first year at Wilson as a kindergartner and overall I am satisfied. Just like every school I think there were good teachers/staff along with ones that should maybe find a different profession. I liked all the after school activities as well as the student/family events they had.
