This school has a fairly supportive community; some of them try to strongarm staff for their kids if things do not go their way but most do good things for the school. It is sad that so many great teachers have left, the school has lost too many teachers in every department/grade and coaches/sponsors (three athletic directors in three years and three math teachers in one class in a year and both music teachers have changed over in the past year). Last year seventh grade had at least half of their teachers leave in the middle of the year. GCS can do better than this - we can make this school great again!

Wilton has consistently outperformed its neighboring schools. The school puts a heavy focus on character building not just academics. Having come from a Wake county school and seen the differences, Wilton creates an environment that feels like a small neighborhood school. Activities like collecting food for the food bank, angel trees at Christmas, or sending Valentines to troops overseas; works to build the student's heart not just their mind.Administration knows every kid's name and you feel like part of a community. The biggest challenge is the school's sudden-rapid growth due to a another county school closing and they received a big influx of kids...as did all the neighboring schools. I think the Wilton staff has handled it extremely well and continues to put the kids first in all they do.

My Uncle (1952), my aunt (1967) my mother (1977), both of my brothers (2001,2005) and myself (2011) graduated from this school, and I can attest that even my friend’s son (2026 graduating class) will say that this school is the bottom of the barrel for schools, THIS SCHOOL NEEDS AN ENTIRE MAKE OVER TOP TO BOTTOM. Save your money and send your kids to a Montessori, a private school, or better, preferably Wake County schools. They offer better support for families, parents, they offer better programs for the students, they listen to the students, and offer safe spaces away from harmful behaviors.
