I think it's an amazing school. My son has been attending Wilbur for one year one now and their program far exceeds my expectations. Besides highly skilled teachers, I appreciate the genuine involvement of parents at the school. It gives a sense of community and inherently creates healthy and motivated students that feel their parents care. The school asks for some money. But it's not much and it is voluntary. And I do see where it is invested, such as active learning boards in each class room to improve quality of teachings. So I disagree with the comment above and I'm very happy the money is being put to good use rather than perfecting the exterior.

It has a very dirty campus and seems as if there is no gardner. There is unsafe bike racks, free standing gates, desks, chairs around the campus just thrown in corners the kids can climb on get hurt. This school constantly asks for money. The drinking fountains are filthy. I just do not know where all the money is going.
