7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGreat place for opportunity and college-readiness prep if you know what you're doing. Teachers and counselors should be more encouraging with students, and lots of students here have wasted potential due to lack of interest.Student Review3y ago - Wilson Southern Middle School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAll over the school there are posters about bullying. However, bullying runs rampant and they don't seem to give a darn. I am pulling my child out - no more!! I have never seen such a school where they allow children to behave like animals.Parent Review10y ago - Shiloh Hills Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love shiloh hills. It is a great elementary school with amazing teachers. I have four children and have been with most of the teachers at shiloh. They are all caring, warm and hard working. The school works together as a team to be successful. I have nothing but great memories with my children at this school.Other Review11y ago
