Horrid. Teachers who don't care, faculty who ignore bullies, and remediatory programs which don't remediate. Of everyone there, only one faculty member ever care, and he has since retired.

I stand pretty neutral on my time at Wilson. Like, on one hand, the teachers who stood by me that were specialized in the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program were beyond amazing and challenged me to accomplish my goals however, there were not many other programs. There was only choir, orchestra/band, and sports. I wish there was something else, like FIRST Robotics programs or math club.

It is only November and I am pulling my child (6th grade, first year there) out. After school is the scariest time there. Students push other students into traff...
