Excellent school, administration is great, very personable and kind. We love Wilson, our only regret is not getting our daughter in sooner! Thank you Wilson for being a great school and safe place for our kiddo.

Wilson would be an amazing school if there were a more diverse staff and focused more on rewarding children more for their academic abilities (since this is a school) and less on attendance. If a child doesnt have perfect attendance but earns honor roll or principle's honor they should NOT feel like a failure after the award ceremoy. Stop praising attendance and start praising academic accomplishments and maybe they will have a better percentage of student progress. Just maybe?

Kindergarten teacher berated my daughter publicly on Facebook and was not fired. She is still teaching there. She abused children by squeezing their hands which leaves no marks. Evil teacher.

Gina Becker is a terrible school principal and does not care about the safety of the students. The only thing Gina Becker cares about is maintaining an attendance rate of 96% and above. The school needs a new administrator.

Wilson is "the little school which can." The teachers are very committed to the success of their kids and everyone is big on family involvement. My son has loved going here for the past two years. I am satisfied with the care and attention he has gotten along with his quality education.

This is a very good school. My daughter is now in Fifth grade and has been attending this school since Kindergarten. She is on an advanced level, and the teachers are really supporting her learning. The staff is excellent and the Principal is very cheerful and optimistic. Every teachers knows each student's name. Mrs.Becker even remembered my daughter's best friend. Even though Wilson is from a low income area and face many problems, this is a great school. I do have an issue about PTA. They are helpful to this school but over Christmas break, they sent the Fifth graders books on a very easy level. My daughter finished it on the walk home. I also see that my daughter is not being challenged. This is still a great school and my daughter loves the staff and teachers.

I love Wilson, my son completed the Pre-K program and I went through loops to get him reassigned at Wilson for kindergarten, even though it is a bit further than his neighborhood school. The principal is very friendly and personable. I feel at ease when dropping him off every day. The teachers are awesome and the office staff are great. You couldn't find a better elementary school in Plant City!!
