it was basically like going to jail everyday. The big fights that break out daily. The school is 6 to 8 grade and there were 16 year olds going there when I was there. There were pregnant girls going there. Teachers would fight students sometimes. Some of the teachers were good but most of them you would wonder what university handed them a degree. If they were young and good they would be gone in a couple years after they did their time in a bad school dist and if they were old they were mostly burnt out and tired of arguing with the disrespectful kids. They took role and sat there. Waiting to retire. A couple boys set a small wastebasket on fire in the art room during class. Gym teacher cursed us out on the reg. Cops came up to school for fights often enough. Tumbleweeds of hair waft down the halls.

I liked the friendships I've made at Wilson and The teachers are extremely nice and helpful. I love that they have algebra classes for the advanced students and they have Spanish classes as well. Something I would like to change 8n the school is the bathrooms. They have broken stalls and dirty toilets. Other than that Wilson does it's job.

My son says he can't even go to the bathroom because of bullies. He says other students wear masks and start bullying during lunch sessions. I am not sure what teachers are doing.

Worse school! Ever since a lot of middle schools were closed all the bad kids are coming to Wilson. My daughter went there last yr for 6th grade. She was constantly bullied and threatened. Her grades dropped drastically because of all the fighting that went on in the classrooms (she video recorded a...
