I will like to see the teachers and just staff in general to care more and help more with the college. Some teachers are amazing!! While others are not. Personally the IB did not help me with the college experience etc. I have met some great people on the other hand. Overall an okay school.

Joseph C Wilson school is a school of prestigious students that have the mindset to strive for the best and be overachievers. The teachers here at Wilson try their best and make sure that the students are satisfied with the overall style of learning and understand the material thoroughly. One thing we could keep under control are the continuous fight that happen that I feel we could do better.

My experience at Wilson has been good. Being that I went to the same school kindergarten to 9th grade was a big change ,come 10th grade but in the end benefited me in many ways. I've been able to grow socially and make new friends also become comfortable in new environments. Also, I've been able to grow academically with a new and more challenging IB curriculum.
