B. Gale Wilson Elementary School
What I think about B.Gale Wilson Elementary School is the best school i have ever went to.The teachers are so nice(and they really do care for your child) and so helpful with every thing. A lot of the teachers take time away from them just to help the students no matter if you are in their class or not,they will also help the students study for for tests from different subject. I think this is the school for 1-8 th graders111
