We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I've had a very great time at Wilson. Most of the teachers are amazing and understanding. The school is always clean. Students are easily involved in clubs and other events going on.

This high school was extremely united and diverse. Bullying was held to a minimum. The teaching staff is great, and truly care about your success. The only thing I would change is the curriculum. This holds for majority of high schools. If I could go back, I would of liked to take more classes (if offered), about "adult life". For example, loans, taxes, mortgages, voting, and many other things that we will soon face, but have no idea about.

When I attended, we had football, softball, baseball, basketball, wrestling, track, tennis, marching band, cheerleading, special olympics, volleyball, and golf. The basics really. We may not have won everything, but whatever you joined, they worked hard. There was a noticeable student audience at the games and school spirit during pep rallies.

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...

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 stude...
