Community Reviews
An outstanding school with a great community feel. The teachers are responsive and demanding. I've had my two children go here and it was a wonderful experience.
Posted by a parent on 7/31/2025Great school. Love that it's both a neighborhood and magnet school. Great enthusiastic teachers. Involved and responsive principal. Community is lacking racial diversity but teachers work at including materials so students can learn more other's experiences. Love the IB curriculum.
Posted by a parent on 6/26/2021This is our daughters first year at Wildwood IB but we’ve been in the neighborhood for 6yrs and all we can say is the school and the staff are amazing. Wildwood IB is the reason we moved from our other home and purchased in this great neighborhood.
Posted by a parent on 5/28/2021Wildwood My child attended Wildwood for several years. It was made most obviously, especially from other parents, that children that were not from the neighborhood were not well-received. This is evident from prior postings. This is a sad commentary.
Posted by a parent on 11/23/2014We moved to the neighborhood because of this school and we are so thankful that we did. Our oldest is in kindergarten and suffers from attachment anxiety among other things. He has been in preschool programs over the past 2 years and the other teachers/cultures just weren't tolerant or helpful. We f

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI totally agree with the negative comments. I could have not say it better than those. We are soooo disappointed in the school because of the teachers. I have personally been treat by one of their teachers as if I am her student. No respect towards me, ignores my questions and acts mad everything time I have asked a reasonable question. She thinks she is the best math teacher around. What she should be is more like Christ and treat people respectfully and WITH manners regardless of their nationality.Parent Review6mo ago - Cheder Lubavitch Hebrew Day School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe love SMOW. The small classes, wonderful teachers--particularly our outstanding principal and AP--and fantastic specials programs (you should see the artwork my kids come home with!) make us feel so good about the choice we've made for our kids. They love school (for reference, my kids are in 6th, 5th, 3rd, and preK). Being a part of SMOW means being part of a tight knit community of people who help each other out in times of need and suffering. We have a huge variety of sports teams and after-school enrichment programs. There is also aftercare daily, which is reasonably priced. Could not recommend it more. It's a great day to be a knight!Parent Review1mo ago - St Tarcissus Elementary School
