The best part is the friends that I've made; a lot of people from many backgrounds and intellligent too. Generally I can say the same thing about the teachers but there are always bad exceptions. Perhaps the worst part is the school's safety. A lot of behavior revolving drugs, fights, threats are still frequent.

Staff and faculty are always welcoming and friendly. All the teachers I had were easily approachable. The education is a lot better compared to the school I had attended before.

I would like to start off that I am not writing out of anger, but honesty. Wilson High School has hired many teachers who fail to teach students who learn in multiple ways. Instead, the teachers only teach the way they want to and blame the students for failing. It is even questionable at times if t...
