Fulton County is to blame for making teachers conform, resort to worksheets, or seem 'fearful' of the curriculum. The new county curriculum is wacko! My friend is a teacher there

You only think you come from a perfect school. They are all facing the same problems and have the same successes in this area. I find the principal quite engaging. It is my understanding that he's the like the CEO...when you have a problem at work do you go straight to your CEO? I didn't think so! Follow the correct chanels and maybe you'll get results!

We have experienced lack of involvement by the principle, poor handling of conflicts, and chaotic implementation of the curriculum that can only be deciphered by the brighter children. There is way too much 'enrichment' and not enough basic skills training for our child.

My experience at Wilson Creek has been absolutely wonderful. My children have been in the school from the 1st day it opened its doors. The Principal is wonderful. He has a great positive attitude and he is very sweet to the children. The PTA is out of this world. They put in countless hours to make

I cannot say enough about the fabulous PTA at Wilson Creek. They are dedicated and supportive of our children and their futures. The school would not be the same without their leadership! Keep up the great work!

My child use to attend WC.

pretty good teachers but I am not an expert on cirriculum. Principal is just as the other reviews say. I tried to have a meeting with him once and had to fill out a form first! I was told he would contact me. He never did. I called 3 times and spoke to his secretary and she assured me that he would

Let's face school should not be judged by the building or the extracurricular activities or even by the TAG program that only a few children get to attend. A school should be judged on the quality of the education. The teachers are good people and probably good teachers but either the state or the county

My child had not been challenged at all since he has been at the school. I tried to talk to last years teacher but I got the feeling that her hands were tied.
