Overall my experience at Wilson has been alright. As far as administration goes there are some teachers and counselors that aren't favorable in the student community. I have had some problems with accommodations and extra aid and they don't do a very good job advising their resources for mental aid or academic aid.

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

Attending Wilson High School was a transforming experience, full of development, discovery, and lasting bonds. I value the variety of possibilities, encouraging community, and important lessons that helped build my Identity. Wilson provided a wide range of groups and organizations that let me pursue my interests and hobbies. I joined different clubs, string orchestra, and a sport I never would have imagined being able to participate in(Flag F). Gaining self-confidence, cooperation, and leadership abilities. I felt supported and welcomed in Wilson's Hallways. I found it difficult to adjust as a freshman since I was afraid I wouldn't succeed or fit in. I don't consider this the worst part but reflecting back to my younger self I wished I took the courage to just be me. Despite missed opportunities it has shaped me who I am today. The impact of Wilson is not limited to my four years there. I am still guided by the events, connections, and teachings. Everything that I am in those hallways.

Taught here for a number of years. Moved my own kids to Orange County because I didn't want them attending here. The administration was just horrible. The whole district is more worried about their reputation, looking good and garnering awards from no name organizations. The administration will post...

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...
