This school is terrible. Seems to be a power struggle between the principal and staff. Not enough professionalism. When you call and talk to the school administration they do not bother to stop conversations that they may be having to properly greet callers. Title 1 school so they are dealing with

The majority of the staff is unprofessional and lack the realization that they are servicing the community in which they work. Most of the staff that I have dealt with are unkind and uncaring towards the parents and students.

I definitely encourage enrolling your child in Joe Wilson. Having just moved to the Dallas area, I wasn't sure exactly what to expect. However, my daughter's fifth grade year turned out to be the best in her school career so far. I have no doubt her success on the TAKS test is the result of dedicated

As a parent how do you rate something that is not worth being rated. By far the worst school in CHISD. I will be so glad when this year is over. Parents are not involved in anything, join PTA they tell you and guess what you still are unaware of what goes on. Very bad school to put a child in.

Joe Wilson needs a complete overhaul starting from the top down. Leadership is obviously lacking because certain teachers are unqualified, unresponsive, and unconcerned with true student achievement, and there is no accountability. 5th grade math in particular was a joke and very frustrating working

Read more with the teacher who offered nothing useful, and once we transferred to a new district, our child's grades improved from C's to A's once the gaps in teaching were filled by a truly dedicated teacher that WILL work with the students and parents to ensure reaching optimum student potential.

I am very disappointed with JWI. The negative experience we have endured at this campus relates very closely to the other parent reviews previously posted. Unfortunately, lack of communication, parent involvement and unqualified teachers in certain subjects happen to exist at this school.

The school needs a great deal of work. My son who is in the 6th grade this year told me everyday that he did not learn a thing. With the exception of a few teachers, the staff is completely incompentent. I was very disappointed with the teachers. However, the nurse was awesome. I would not recommend

If this campus would spend more time educating and less time training students to pass state tests, I would consider referring to this building as a 'school'. Sadly, this is just a glorified but incompetent daycare.

Joe Wilson is a school that need to close down completely. The front desk staff all the way to the principals are there receive a pay check.
