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.

I believe Wilson High school to be a great place. There are many clubs and extracurricular activities for students to enjoy and be a part of. The school has very great school spirit and many different sporting events to join or watch, all at a low cost or free. The administration is very good with keeping the kids up to date with scholarships, internships, resources, etc. Colleges also visit the school to give students an opportunity to see future education plans.

Staff and faculty are always welcoming and friendly. All the teachers I had were easily approachable. The education is a lot better compared to the school I had attended before.

My experience has good by soon fast at Wilson High School and the school itself and the administration and teachers that I have created a bond with have made it great. I think there should be more "school spirit" activities that are required for students, especially pep rallies. I think this would bring the school together more, but in a fun way that everyone will enjoy.

I am a senior here at Wilson High School. I started in the district in the first grade. While Wilson students learned to read in Kindergarten I was doing shapes and colors. This set me back as a new student to the district, but Cornwall Terrace made me a confident smart young girl and I fully credit...

I would like to start off that I am not writing out of anger, but honesty. Wilson High School has hired many teachers who fail to teach students who learn in multiple ways. Instead, the teachers only teach the way they want to and blame the students for failing. It is even questionable at times if t...
