I honestly feel like Silas is a good school, but there's some areas i definitely know they can improve on. They focus so much on the "vaping" problems at my school instead of academics, a lot of people at school don't even feel welcomed there, or even feel like they belong there. Silas high school staff needs to do actually focus on their big problems instead of just locking bathrooms and sending people home for smoking.

Silas High School has been around for a long time. It has been called Wilson High School since my parents attended it. It has gone downhill in a lot of ways. Safety and academics have decreased. It used to be a wonderful school, but now it is just a school I have to go to.

Overall, I didn't love my time at Silas high school and liked being a full time running start student instead. But, I know a lot of other kids that enjoyed their expirience.

My Son will be a Senior this year. I think Wilson is the Best High School in Tacoma! The Principal and his staff are the friendliest, knowledgeable, and they know how to run a great High School. Thanks Wilson!

Our second daughter is currently attending Wilson and is having a very positive experience. The Honors and AP classes are challenging, the t...

I was in the "honors" and "AP" programs at Wilson High School. The teachers had high expectations, and provided us with all the instruction that we needed to attain those goals. The principal and other senior staff were present in our daily activities. They could always be found interacting with stu...
