I would like to say that Mrs. Carafa, the pre-k teacher is absolutely wonderful! She is sweet, understanding and patient with the kids. I turned to her for help with my son and she immediatly responded. But I must say that I am disappointed with the school overall, because 1) they do not offer extra
... Read more curricular activities, 2) no after school care for working parents and I feel that maybe the school is behind in learning skills. I have two children in the school and going on three next year, but if I could help it I may switch them from schools. Read less

Wilson School is relatively a good school. There was a certain grade (2nd) that I was not happy with. This opinion comes from the fact that I had 2 children that had the same 2nd grade teacher. I felt both of my children seemed to fall behind in 3rd grade because there was no reinforcement in there

Some teachers are better at positive reinforcement that others I suppose, but when it comes to education, all teachers should be on the same page. Read less

Our family came into the school district towards the end of the 2004/05 school year. I found the office staff very helpful and friendly. The teachers were very helpful in ensuring my children made friends. They also went above and beyond in getting my children adjusted to a new daily routine, dealing

All those 'extra's' have made my children make a VERY smooth transition into a new school and I can't thank them enough! As an extra plus, my son's handwriting has improved as well as his homework habits! Read less

I beg to differ on the 'student teachers' words about the principal of wilson school. Maybe one should walk in the shoes of a woman administrator for a day or two. As a past parent of a student in the school for 5 years, i found the principal a very caring person to the students. I have worked many

I was a student teacher in this school for 3 months and I left feeling sad for the children in this school. This is what I observed: The principal is basically non-existent; uninvolved in the day-to-day life of the teachers and the students. She rudely interrupts the flow of lessons with her spur
