We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I've been at WISH for 8 years, and all I can say about WISH is good. WISH Elementary was one of my favorite moments in my past. WISH teachers are amazing and supportive, no matter what. The diversity at WISH is incredible, and all the kids here are nice. The school has a lot of staff, and all of them are qualified and supportive. I haven't had a bad teacher in all my years here. I am in a advanced class and the teachers have helped me a lot to fit in. Overall, WISH is the best school I could ask for. Highly recommend.

WISH Community School is a public charter school that aims to foster social justice through inclusivity. My family has been part of the WISH community for five years, and we thank our lucky stars everyday for this excellent school.

We are big fans of WISH and have been ever since we enrolled a few years ago and it has exceeded our expectations and aligned to what we heard about WISH before we started. It has a reputation of being great at academics (it is) and offering so many classes that unfortunately are cut because of budget issues at other schools - things like art, music, PE, STEM, robotics and more happen every week, and our two kids love them all. I know we are lucky to have gotten in and are so thankful to have an opportunity for our kids to be here. In short, WISH has made all of our school wishes come true.

He’s involved in a couple of clubs, tried out for sports, and has so many opportunities to explore what he’s interested in. He likes...

We’ve been part of WISH Middle for the past three years, and now my daughter has just started at WISH Academy. The transition has been so smooth, and she is loving high school so far. The teachers at Middle School really prepared her, not just with academics, but also with study skills and confidenc...

We've gone to WISH for the past four years - so glad we won the lottery to go in - and agree with all of the fans of this school, and totally understand why there's such a big waiting list to get in. Great teachers who care, amazing classes, and so much more with art, music, PE, stem, garden program...
