My son is about to graduate 5th grade and I have to admit I will really miss Wilson, the teachers, parents and the entire community. I have always helped to volunteer as I really feel that my son has received a private school education. My son has benefited from K-5 with the best support structure, a wonderful PTA, fantastic teachers, and tons of activities. I have always felt so safe leaving my son here and he has never once tried to weasel out of going to school in the morning. That really says a lot, as I know when I was a kid, I would think of anything for a day off :) I am originally from NYC and we are somewhat known for a blunt honesty. I could not recommend Wilson Elementary more. Everyone looks out for everyone, it is a real family environment where your child will flourish

Excellent! Our children have excelled here; the teachers are attentive and caring, and we love the smaller size of the school.

The principle is so rude ,,, calling me for small stuff ,
Called me and he was so mad and talked to me really rude ,he told me come as soon as possible and when I was there he wasnt in the office , when I got my son from his office because my son was alone in his office, he didnt even bothered himself to ask about my son , Im not comfortable for him , how is my son feeling??? No wonder why my son doesnt like the school , he is so scared from him ,
My son was bullied since day one of the school and no one seems to care, the principal told me its okay for the girls to bully the boys but boys cant defend themselves!!!! Excuse me ??? What a great principal they have ???I'm taking my son out of this school to different school ..

We have two children who go to Wilson, one in the 4th grade and one in the 1st grade, plus we have many friends and neighbors whose children attend Wilson. I have been continually impressed with the quality of the teachers and staff - they really care about the students and the education the students receive. Also the community and parents are very involved with the school. Overall Wilson is an excellent school and I am very glad that my children go there!
