Worst school ever! Staff and Principal rude, unprofessional, and allow a lack of discipline that is appalling! My daughter was punched by a little boy the first day of school, shoved by one the third, and had two other altercations by day four, went to office to resolve and found other children from her class BEGGING not to have to attend (all for similar reasons) - was told Principal would call me, she did and proceeded to justify and then yelled at and over me when I told her there is no justification for this happening to my 8 yr old and that the school needs to be more proactive then reactive. I will be moving my child a.s.a.p, she isn't able to learn in this environment, nor is she safe.

Wilhelm is a great school. There are some tough kids there, but the office staff, teachers and administration are always welcoming. Keep it up Wilhelm!

It was a horrible start this year. Administration and staff were in two different worlds. Parents ranting and nothing,no explanation but contact the county. This school is so over crowded. The language barriers do affect the students . Finally they extended the kindergarten class to full day after half the year was over. Over 36 five year olds to one teacher in 2 1/2 hours was wasteful time for parents and students.

This school is horrible, the staff is inconsistent. There is a huge communication gap within the administrators, at events it seems unorganized. There are always older kids who do not attend there hanging out on the campus and I see many young children wondering unsupervised.

This school is extremenly over crowded and safety is a main concern at this point. There are also alot of older middle and high school students 'running' through the school with no one knowing they are there. Parent involvement is low and that may be due to lnguage barriers. I am looking at moving to get zoned for a better school.

This school has been a disappointment to our family. It is overcrowded and very behind academically as well as all of Nevada schools. I feel that this school needs to focus on the large student to teacher ratio and increasing academic requirements to improve the childs knowledge intake and test scores.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Nevada used the Criterion Referenced Test (CRT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 5 and 8 in science and writing. The CRT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Nevada. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
