The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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 think that Wilcox Tech is a good school for anyone who is interested in the trade programs offered there. They will help you achieve your goals of working within the industry of your choice.

When I went to this school, it definitely, had some ups and downs. The good thing about a technical school is that you get to learn about a trade and how to work in said trade. They don't take the academic aspect of school as seriously as the other high schools. No AP courses are offered and only a couple of ECE. If you want to get accepted to a prestigious college, this high school may not be for you. If you are looking to start working after high school, this would be the school to go to.

I would like to see more course diversity. I would also like to see more diversity. I believe Wilcox Technical high School was just like every other school although it did offer great trade selections to prepare students for the outside world. I believe there should be more care and compassion put into the teaching there.

The renovation is beautiful. My son had an easy transition from middle to high school because the staff is very involved and they actually care about how well your child performs. Parent and teacher involvement is a priority at Wilcox and my son has done really well here. So I am happy because he is...
