Many fabulous teachers, but there are also many lazy tenured teachers. We had the good fortune to have many of the best teachers during our years there. Mrs. Falber is a dedicated principal, but she fails to move on the teachers who should not be there. Also, there are some teachers who are quite unprofessional, trying to be "cool" dancing on the tables on Friday at their weekly parties, obviously the administration just doesn't want to deal with it. The art and music teachers are wonderful! Your experience at WIS will be determined by your classroom teacher, so good luck on one of the good ones!!

We have had a wonderful experience at this school. The teachers and staff are caring, enthusiastic, and experienced. They foster a community spirit among the students which encourages cooperative learning while simultaneously enhancing developing social skills.

Dr. Ribbens does an excellent job by and large with his staff.

Really phenomenal. Not sure how I could improve or add on to the previous review, but we agree wholeheartedly. We're in our third and final year at WIS and the teachers and staff exceed our rising expectations year after year. Exceptional by every count.

Great school, terrific teachers, staff that is helpful. Like a private school, but not. Beautiful facilities.

About the tests


In 2008-2009 Connecticut used the Connecticut Mastery Test (CMT) to test students' skills in reading, writing and math in grades 3 through 8, and in science in grades 5 and 8.
