I have had an excellent experience at Wilson High School. The majority of the staff is excellent and very willing to help with anything that is needed. For the most part, every student is a great person and very kind. Especially in sports, such as field hockey, which I played, Wilson has won the league sportsmanship award for many consecutive seasons. From my experience, I would recommend Wilson High School as a great place to go to school.

Bullying they tell you to shrug it off but it’s bc the “bullying” is so petty they don’t want to deal with it. They need to...
