It is a shame that Wilson high has such a beautiful campus yet students are trashing the school everywhere. Many students have no decency nor morals. They often get away with things because the school does not enforce consequence for student's actions. Kids are slacking off & scores are falling! I

This is also a great disadvantage for students who wish to take 3 APs as it limts them to taking only one available class which may need to be a year round course such as leadership, yearbook, or AVID.

Instead of detention, students should be made to attend events at the college corner--we all know jails don't work, its the same concept with punishment at school. I don't think Wilson adequately prepared me for the academic challenges I faced in college. I was able to attend one of nations top liberal arts college--all Wilson did was teach me things, it didf not teach me how to think about things. A very big distinction. As a parent be involved and make sure you challenge your child. Read less

Wilson High School has been bombarded by some bad press over the last 4 or 5 years.
