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.

This school was honestly very interesting, I'm a senior and let me tell you a lot of these teachers don't care! Yet there's some that do, maintain your distance from trouble, be up to date with your classes! & try to make the best out of public school.

As a student that as been attending Frl three years now my impression of this school is lack luster at best. The school itself is infested with vermin in all of its various departments with no change in sight. The education is barely there and most of all its students (my self included) are more so ready to leave rather then feeling fulfilled.

Wilby High School has good and bad moments. There are many fights amongst students. Some staff members are rude. The school is unorganized and at times lack professionalism. I would not recommend parents to enroll their children into Wilby High School.

Waterbury Schools are changing, and are fighting for change. Especially this school in particular. You can see the effort the staff is doing to make their students succeed. I appreciate that in almost every way. And because of that, Wilby is becoming a greater institution of learning more than ever....
