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 would like to see more AP and honors classes offered. Also some new computer and math options. The science department is pretty good.

I enjoyed Wilmington Area High School because of the small class size, which suited me very well, as well as the supportive community. The teachers are great, and I felt very prepared for college after graduation.
