VERY AWESOME SCHOOL ALWAYS MAKING LEARNING RANDOM IN A FUN WAY

Oh man, cannot say enough about this school district with my experiences with it. I have found the variety of extracuriculars to be extensive and great staff at the helm. The community spirit about our schools is strong. My three kids graduated from Neenah’s schools and I did too, I have 4 siblings with kids in the school system and we support and have enjoyed being there. The level of challenge kids can exoerience and college credit available is second to none. The health careers academy is fantastic. We have had experience in many of the elementary schools and found them to be wonderful. My siblings have had kids or they themselves have been in varsity athetics in wrestling, swimming, softball, football, tennis and track. All of those experiences were life changing. The drama dept is extrordinary along with the music dept. We have had show choir, madrigals and drama club experiences for ourselves and our children. I have known several of the administrators and found them to be very accomodating and proffesional. My own family members have taught or coached in the school system also.

This school has an outdated culture of powerless students. As a parent of a student that has attended Wilson for over three years, I have witnessed teachers berating students several times, resistance to collaboration, and a general apathy about forward thinking. Many classrooms are drab, the staff's attire is often sloppy, and playground equipment has been broken for over a year. While my child does well overall, he struggles in a few subjects. As an educator myself with four older children, I have yet to convince the teacher that my child needs additional help. The top down culture at this facility is in need of a change to raise the level of the staff to a place that will ensure these children are prepared for today's world.

Friendly staff, great extra curricular activities even for the non-sport kids. Relaxed atmosphere around the school.
