My children attended WES K-5 and I was thoroughly impressed with the instruction, support of the staff, and the treatment of ALL students.

We are a blended family of 7 children and have had the opportunity to experience several area schools. Wilderness was by far our favorite, kids choice and parents choice. Communication was wonderful between faculty and parent and children were treated with the respect they were asked to show others. When looking for our new home the last remaining elementary age children asked to return to Wilderness.

My grandson goes to Wilderness. I have visited there many times and have listened to him tell me about his school. I have been impressed with everything about Wilderness. I have seen the teachers in action and can testify to there dedication and the care they bestow on the children. The administrators have made the school a safe place to be . The school is ways clean and the lunches are tasty. He is learning a lot and very happy there . Three cheers for the Wilderness Wildcats!

This school and its ENTIRE staff are truly amazing!!! I have absolutely nothing negative to say. They all keep the children their first and foremost in all of the daily activites during the shool day. They also support and attend many extracurricular activities and functions beyond school hours! Parent involvement is encouraged and welcomed and the PTA is amazing. LOVE LOVE LOVE my Wilderness Wildcat family!!! Unfortunately the ONLY negative review below is from a mother who is really bitter with the fact that her child's father was given emergency custody. That is the reason for the transfer from another county and her ill feelings about her own situation. The child actually had improved grades, loved her teachers and the guidence counselor, was a member of the 5th grade chorus, and frequently returns to visit her old stomping grounds. Wilderness is WONDERFUL!!!!
