My experience at Wilson high school has been a mix of highs and lows.The best part has definitely been the supportive teachers and the friendships I have made ..I Got to experience football games , prom, dances, and many other fun school activities. Our school would have movie nights out on the quad and I always remember making fun memories at school, it was truly like a second home and sometimes even an escape from issues at home . I always had something to look forward to in high school .I can't believe im saying this but I honestly miss everything about high school. im currently in community college and its honestly the most depressing thing I've experienced.Everyone is so reserved in college . I miss the feeling of being social everyday and looking forward to going to school. high school was the best experience for me and I wish I could experience it again . the course work was manageable and honestly easy,I actually enjoyed learning in high school but college has me overwhelmed

My experience with Wilson High School in Long Beach was pretty good. I was able to always have good grades throughout my years, have support from teachers when I needed it, and it was fun. The worst part was just the immature students causing fights and trouble for other students and their safety with their foolishness. What I'd like to see a change in is having the bathrooms being monitored because it's always filled up for no reason.

It has been a great experience! I love the school spirit that is offered. I love how supportive everyone is of others. Especially how of how supportive teachers are towards student! And they offer lots of great resources.

I graduated from this school two years ago. This school has a bullying problem. They also have a disciplinary problem. When I was over there, I was a product of bullying. For some reason, I was on other kids' minds; I don't know why. There was a student who got another student pregnant; he was bully...

If you have a child with good grades and loves high school then you are going to be fine but if you need help with finding out if your child is skipping class then might as well transfer them because school staff is so incompetent call after call email after email and even going straight into the of...

Graduating class of '23, this school has only gone down since i got here in 2019. Wilson does not have enough discipline when it comes to kids wandering campus during class or when it comes to vaping and drug use especially in bathrooms. Instead of punishing the children involved their solution is t...
