This School’s Reviews

4.0 Senior

4/1/2025

Overall, I have enjoyed my high school experience at Wilson high school. Specifically, I have enjoyed being a part of the international baccalaureate program, which engages me in challenging classes each and every day. I believe I am very prepared to perform well in college and succeed in my career field of law.

3/21/2025

I love the IB program as well as the wide variety of elective classes offered. The one thing that I'd like to see change is the CATE hall bathrooms being in better shape.

It is a wonderful school the teachers and the administrators are amazing. However, the resources and the sports do lack.

This website is highly inaccurate within the advanced course section. There are International Baccalaureate classes offered at Wilson, so most students don't take AP classes, other than as electives within IB. The IB students enjoy their courses and make excellent grades. The traditional school prog...

This website is very inaccurate as it completely disregards the IB program. The school is very informing and it has taught me a lot. The quality of the school has went up drastically since the last reviews.

1/12/2014

As an IB student, I can say that this school is far batter than what many people around the Florence area make it seem to be. Once most IB parents see the area of town it is in, and the amount of black students there, stereostypes and assumptions are automatically applied. This school is not dangero...

We want this school to succeed. The teachers do their best with limited resources. We also look forward to what the new principal can do for Wilson. A missing component is parent involvement. I never could find out when the APT/PTA met. The whole school can get back to 'Great' with improved leadersh...
