GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Terrible school for Special Education. 504 and IEP not work. The school does not respect the rights of disability. He doesn't respect either students or his parents. They go over the laws. Terrible.

I highly recommend this school:My son has being attending Wilson Ave school since kindergarten, now in 7th grade. He is a straight A student with a bright future ahead of him. The teachers are amazing, they take the time to explain and encourage the students, that they can do anything they put there...

This school doesn't seem to be prepared to deal with children with any kind of difference, be it hyperactivity, attention deficit or even some kind of disability. This is bad for society and for learning. There is no support at school and the teachers can't seem to do this.
