I think Wilson Central is a good school but our administration is too strict with everything and takes the joy out of wanting to come to school. They are always talking about kids coming to school but why would you want to be in a school that's so draining all the time. They also constantly overlook bullying issues even though they seem to be a big advocate of solving those issues. The students aren't too bad here but some of them can be rude and get away with it due to staff.

My overall experience was good. I was a transfer student from Texas. I found WC to be open to new students and accepting. Most students were kind to me and my teachers worked with me if I needed help in a particular class. The overall school experience was good.
