As a former student who is now a Freshman in High School, I can say this school was Great to go to besides a certain problem. A problem was my Family business was essentially invaded by Upper staff while being at this school from 1st-3rd grade, I came back once again in 5th grade and finished the rest of the school year better than before. I still remember a lot of Teachers and people I appreciate while being there. The Teachers are wonderful but once again the Upper staff is a bit harsh on families. I haven't had a safety problem at this school but some punishments are overextended at this school but it rarely happens. A problem is the lack of Support Staff. There is only one Support staff, so teachers usually have to due another job by being Emotional support as well. They could use 1 or 2 more support staff but otherwise, it seems this school has gotten better since I last went there. I truly recommended you give it a chance.

Fantastic office staff.Mrs. Hudec the principal is invested in her students. The pta is very involved and has tons of fun ideas.The teachers encourage the students to be welcoming and are active in stopping potential bullying.We are very happy with the level of challenging material the kids encounter.

My child has attended Wildwood for three years. I am very pleased with the dedicated teachers and office staff. The school has added excellant after school programs such as spanish class and dance. The kids really enjoy the programs. Overall, Wildwood strives to provide a safe academic environment and I appreciate the professional teachers and staff. Wildwood is a great school!

This is my daughters 3rd year attending this school. This is a California distinguished school. I love the staff, teachers and most of all the Principal Lucia Hudec. All good things start at the top and without Lucia this school may be very different. They have an anti bullying program that is enforced and the staff is very nurturing. The teachers are all very willing to work with students that may need extra help or that aren't being challenged, I looked into the two charter schools in our area and Wildwood beats them hands down. I know numerous home school parents that now have their children attending our wonderful school. I can't say enough about Wildwood Elem.

I cannot give a 5 but a high 4 star review is my personal opinion. My daughter is attending Wildwood for her second year this 2012-13 school year and she is an intra-district transfer from Calimesa Elementary. And let me say compared to that school ( which I personally attended for 6 years and used to hold in a very high reguard) anything would be a vast improvement. The school is clean, well maintained and the staff is adequate. They live and breath by their test scores as do many high scoring schools and their tactics must work because they are one of 2 school is the entire unified district with a sufficient score. My daughters studies have improved and although an up-hill battle she is improving and feels at home in Wildwood. I would recommend this school to anyone considering a move to the area, if you can choose I dont believe Wildwood would disapoint!

This school is awesome! My kids love their teachers, the principal is hands-on and involved with the parents, staff and kids. I am so happy our school finally has a principal who controls any bullying and behavior issues and is fair and consistent with everyone and that we have someone who wanted to be a school principal again instead of being so far removed at the district office level, a bold move in these times. This school was the only school in the district eligible to apply for a California Distinguished School this year because of the leadership of the principal and teachers, involvement and support of parents and academic growth of students. If you are moving to this district, fill out the paperwork to come to this school. You will love it it!
