Major lack or diversity, few teachers communicate with parents when needed, lack of arts program, lack of foreign languages, only a few sports teams that don’t experience terrible season after terrible season... When you go up to the school you’ll notice the parents’ and students’ lack of motivation, dressed like they just crawled out of bed. Students are left to fend for themselves against bullies, and unless you’re an athlete or top academic student, don’t expect to feel a part of the school. Standardized test scores are mostly below state average (which is already bad) and there is a sad percentage of students who pursue college after graduation. Don’t recommend.

We need to be objectively honest here, instead of biased and one-sided. There were good experiences/memories here, but unfortunately, there was (and is) also favoritism by most of the staff, particularly toward those who are involved in athletics, certain clubs, and/or if one was an honor roll student. Unless one was one of those, one was usually not taken seriously, and teachers had little to no time for them. There was (and probably still is) bullying that is all but ignored by the staff, especially if the troublemaker is an athlete.

My great grand daughter is a fourth generation Wilson student. I suppose I have nothing to compare to Wilson, but my experience over the years with the staff and the level of learning speaks for itself. Especially through my family. I am over 65. I attended Wilson and went on to become a Registered Nurse. My son was drum major and participated in band for 9 years before he graduated. He went on to become a Physical Therapy Aide My daughter graduated there and now is an employee of the school. My grandson graduated as well. Now, I have a first grader there and feel confident she will receive the best education just like her family before her. Great school and staff!

I was a student at Wilson High School, and I am enraged at some of the comments I am seeing about my alma mater, especially from parents and students who cannot use proper grammar or spelling. To those parents, take an interest in your student and make the first move to call the teacher or principal. I am sure they will make the time to talk to you. As for the students, if you'd listen in your classes, you wouldn't make such terrible spelling and grammatical errors in your posts. I attended WHS from 1st grade until I graduated, and was always encouraged by my teachers. They were always looking out for the students' best interest. They were also fair in their punishment of those students who chose to disrupt their classrooms.
