Richard B Wilson Jr School

This is a awesome school I have gone here 1 and a half years and it is wonderful

Not so impressed. We moved from out of state and my kids were in all advanced classes and getting them put in the correct classes here was more than a hassle. They tested them and agreed where they needed to be but the communication between staff and departments is lacking. My 8th grader's schedule had to be sent back 3 times to get corrected. The office staff is not friendly or helpful and acts annoyed if you ask any questions. They charge for full day kindergarten (i guess typical for AZ) but if you choose to go with half day instead then your child misses out on Art, PE, Music, Library and Computer. If you end up going to this school just make sure you are a pro-active parent and skip all the middle men by going directly to the principle Mr. Hannah as that is the only way anything will get taken care of.

I attended Wilson as a 7-8 grader and returned later in life as a student teacher and then a teacher for a year. Grat experience from both perspectives and can't wait to get back there to teach in the future!

Great school, great teachers, make this a wonderful school to transition to high school. I can't think of any aspect to even be critical of in my evaluation. We are proud that our children attend this school.

I am an 8th grader at Wilson K-8 and it is an excellent school. The 3 years I have spent at Wilson have been both fun and educational. The school offers many extracurricular activities and takes a considerable amount of field trips. The school's show choir is amazing and has been my highlight at Wilson K-8. The honors classes are also great. I only have a few complaints about Wilson... First would be the teaching-style of a few teachers. Some teachers don't explain much and leave a ton of extra research to be done in the library and outside of school. There is also no time to go to the library and computer lab and the rules can be extremely strict at times. Overall, Wilson has been a positive experience and deserves a 4/5 rating.

I have had four children attend Wilson and find it to be an overall excellent experience. The office staff is friendly and courteous and try to put the students at ease at all times. The teaching staff is of the highest quality. The administration is great and care about the well being of the students.

I sent my children here and they love it they say that this is the best school, there teachers are very nice, all the acttivities here are creative, and the parents are pretty much involved in everything.

My daughter and son both attended Wilson. Although there is heavy parental involvement, many kids are treated like just another number if their parents can't be as involved. Certain teachers are allowed to treat children badly with principal approval. My son had his self esteem crushed here by a teacher who told him he was worthless and a principal labeling him as a bad kid because he got beat up on the bus.
