There are many parts of this school that I would like to see changed, yet there are parts I love seeing while going there. The bathrooms are hardly ever open and they have like one bathroom open during the day. However, the teachers, such as the ones who teach the biomed courses and the engineering teacher, are some of the best teachers out of my years in public school.

Wilson is not necessarily a bad school, it's simply average. The facilities are always a mess, a majority of the teachers are good, and some students aren't the best.
