Wilcox is an excellent school. There are great teachers and plenty of activities for the students. Like any school, you won't find out how good it is unless you take the time to get involved.

Both my kids studied at Wilcox. In academics, Wilcox is above average but not excellent. The physical sciences (Chemistry & Physics) are poorly taught (except biology and AP chem which are good).
