GreatSchools Rating
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.

What I like about Jpseph C. Wilson is that it has diversity of many kids coming from different countries or they are from here but with different ethncity and or culture/religion. Some things I would love to see changes are the food and more involment in clubs and activities.

At Wilson there is a lot of drama and the teachers can be really bad at teaching or really good. When it comes to sports it isn't that bad but some of the coaches aren't that serious about it. The food is terrible. The organization is all over the place and especially when it comes to giving students back their phones and the school might look crappy but the gym is nice and bigger than other schools. The kids at this school are disrespectful to everyone and have no home training.
