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.

Wilton has great teachers who are always there for you despite the administration team not always being there for the IEP. Wilton is also full of a ton of personality's including the stuck up smart students who believe just because they are taking all AP courses they're destined for Yale. There are also some students who look down upon others due to them taking less rigorous classes then they are.

Wilton High School is a very spirited school and loves to recognize all aspects of school including academics, sports, clubs, and music. All teachers are very motivated to have students do well and there is a safety and welcoming when entering the high school. The only hard part is that teachers specifically in the math department are sometimes a hit or miss with students

Both my children attended Wilton High (one is still there). For them, the experience was amazing.

They were both involved in theater and/or music, and those departments are amazing: Broadway-qualit...
