Both of our children have attended this school from Kindergarten through 5th grade. We could not have asked for a better childhood educational experience for our children. Thank you to the teachers and staff that truly make this the best elementary school around!

My daughter is now in third grade and has been going to Wilbur since kindergarten. We love this school. The principal and teachers are amazing as well as all of the staff. They put so much effort into making the kids smart students and teach them how bullying is never allowed.

Wilbur Elementary is a school that I can truly say that I am proud to work at. The teachers go above and beyond, on a daily basis, to make sure each child reaches their fullest capabilities. We provide interventions for struggling students and extend thinking and push students on and above grade level. The students enjoy coming to school to learn and the parents love coming in to see all the wonderful activities going on in the classrooms. We truly are a family!

I absolutely love my new place of employment...Wilbur, perfectly located in the Colonial School District... It has felt like home from day one and I have been treated as if I 've been here for many years! I look forward to working each day and love working with the students, staff and the very supportive administrators. I came from a place whose motto is "A great place to work." Wilbur is the best example of "A Great Place to Work!!!"

My children have gone to Wilbur since Kindergarten. They are now in 5th grade. I can't say enought good about this school and how wonderful the teachers and staff have always been to our children. Ms. Howell is an excellent role model as the Principal and leads by example. My children have been blessed to have teachers that care about them and students and as children. They are challenged and supported at the same time in a safe and creative learning environment. This school should be help up as an example of success and caring for all schools, public & private, to emulate. Truly could not have asked for more for my children.

We just returned from Disney and my kids couldn't wait to go back to school. That is the best compliment available for the school and staff!
