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.

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.

The IB students enjoy their courses and make excellent grades. The traditional school prog...

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...
