I have had 2 children attend TRES and both were in AIG gifted and talented. The Principal, Teachers and Staff were all great. I feel safety is a top priority and the school was always clean and orderly.

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.
