Woodrow Wilson Elementary School

This school is being punished by the school district because OTHER school are failing API language score, Wilson is being forced to spend a mandatory 2 hour period in the morning doing low level language arts lessons which are far below grade level. The principal is LIMITING the AR program access to the students and not allowing the teachers to have parents volunteer in the classrooms. My upper-grader RARELY has time for science or social studies in class due to this district mandate (thanks Superintendent!) In contract, this past week, the principal announced they are in the process of becoming a CA Distinguished school, yet the children are STILL getting lessons below grade level. The poor performing schools should be given this mandate, NOT Wilson. I also feel there are SEVERAL mentally challenged children who are immersed in with the regular classrooms that cause great disruptions in the class, as I have witnessed in one of my children's classes there is a student who has not finished a single homework assignment this year, does not stay in their seat, talks and wants attention and disrupts the class, taking away valuable time fro the students. A change in admin is needed.

I miss this school! Principal took my colts hat cause I wore it backwards 10 years ago. I still remember that hat.

This school is all about looks.. It has a great looking package but when you open it up it's not at all what they make it out to be. The staff are concerned with their image not with the children. We moved from a district where the children always came first, your child's teacher called you at the first sight of any academic or social struggle wether it be big or small. My son has suffered since attending this school, he has been bullied by children 3 years older than him and was then punished for being bullied. My son used to have a wonderful excitement towards school, he was making great strides academically and socially now that has all disappeared. He walks into school with his head down and makes every excuse not to go to school. If I could do it all again I would have toured the school and spoken with other parents before moving to this area. If you're thinking of having your child attend here please take a tour and get other parents input before making a decision.

As a teacher in another district, I am so happy with my child being at Wilson. Her Kinder teacher was wonderful and I love her first grade teacher this year. So far the principal has been very understanding and supportive of me as a parent. Budget cuts have hit every school, but I think they are doing the best they can with the money they do have.

NOT happy with this school's 2010-11 YEAR! Traditional calender has really changed this school! I miss having TRACKS My child is in a class of 30+students=( The PTA President is a really sweet person/parent! But due to unfortunate budget cuts the school has terminated school events! Also the the new Asst.Principal seems very superficial (as well as some of the PTA staff!) I cant take her serious as a professional educator! This school is based on looks! I live walking distance of the school so it's a convenience for my kids and I ! Otherwise I would take my kids elsewhere!

Woodrow Wilson Elementary is a wonderful school with a highly trained staff and unbelievable parent participation. We have 4 children and have been affiliated with 3 elementary schools, 2 in O.C. and Wilson in Corona. Out of all three schools, the atmosphere for learning has been the best at Wilson.
