GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

I personally loved my experience at Wilton High School. I graded it based on three categories: academics, Mental Health support, and student body. I thrived in my humanities and literature classes. I have always applauded the English/social studies department of Wilton High School. Teachers are always willing to work with you to ensure you learn and retain the material. However, the Math department is slightly weaker compared to its counterpart. Granted, I am a student who struggles more with math, but I have never felt truly involved in a math class. A lot of the work is not done with others, making it difficult to ask questions, and I don't have peer support. Wilton High School has plenty of resources to support students who struggle with mental health, and I receive and utilize my support. The student body is not as diverse as many students would like to admit. Of course, the population is forever growing, but as a Latina student. I have always felt slightly out of place.

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

We had an amazing experience with the Wilton school system. The AP classes offered helped us to get read for college and the teachers are incredibly helpful and kind.

The school does not accommodate higher levels of IQ. They are also based on Marxist “equity” a very racist ideology.

Both my children attended Wilton High (one is still there). For them, the experience was amazing. They both love learning and are great students academically, so benefitted from the many AP offerings. They were both involved in theater and/or music, and those departments are amazing: Broadway-qualit...
