Wilson High School

All 3 of our kids went through Wilson and came out with pretty decent educations that prepared them for college. Their teachers could be meh, or they could be outstanding. All of the kids got through college and graduate school. BUT our experience was with Honors students. We have had exchange students who have been in the ‘regular’ classes and some of those classes are pretty sad. Not all, but some. We despair over the History curriculum in particular. The counselors are wonderful, but this is not an OES or a Jesuit, where the push to help kids get into private college is a priority. The relatively-​new principal, Brian Chatard, is definitely making headway in improving the standards and pushing the school more towards responsibility and excellence. The school is solid, though not exceptional.
