I think wilson elementary is an exceptional school with excellent faculty. I have always seen each child of mine leave each day with a smile and the teachers treating the children like their own. The school has many activities for kids to enjoy and parents enjoy themselves just as much. Both of my children attend there and they could not be happier.
