My son has attended this school for three years. His teachers have been amazing, the PTA is strong and I have had a very positive experience regarding opportunities to volunteer and participate in his classes. The staff and administration is responsive and understanding. Its been a great school for our family.
We moved and this was our base school. My son was so excited to attend and it could not have been a worse experience. So many things are wrong with this school, and his teacher was just plain awful. It became so bad that after 2.5 months, we pulled him out to homeschool. I would not recommend this school to anyone, ever.
How anyoone could give it a rating above 1, are you kdding me? The school is so bad the got rid of the principal and AP. Might get better but I wouldn't put an enemy's kid there. If you went to a school in a slum, then perhaps this MIGHT be an improvement. There are a bunch of good schools in the Wake county, Brassfield, Davis Dr, Highcroft, Green Hope...Stay away for this establishment!
I was very happy this past year w/ the 1st & 3rd grade teachers that my sons had . The love the school and the classes.
My daughter went here for second grade. We've moved several times since she started kindergarten and she usually adjusts/does well but she has done beautifully here. The teachers worked well with her and the principal was hands on. There is a strong PTA and parental involvement/volunteerng is OK but can be improved. Per my daughter, this school was in the middle, they challenged me but I wanted to be challenged a litlle bit more.
My son went to school in Kindergarden and loved it. His teacher was amazing and the staff was wonderful!
This is my first year at Wildwood Forest Elementary. The principal is amazing, she is so friendly , helpful, and knowledgeable. My children's teachers (kind & 2nd grade) have all been exceptional. I love all of the positive attention, I think it is terrific.
My son is in the third grade and has attended this school since kindergarten. We have been very satisfied with his experience there so far. The teachers are wonderful about communicating with parents and show a genuine and personal interest in students. Parent involvement is exceptional - very active and productive PTA. The former principal was a jewel - a real people person and excellent communicator. The new principle, though well recognized and celebrated in education has not been as visible or involved with parents as her predecessor.
Overall this is a terrific school. The teachers are great and the new principal will get the scores up if anyone can!
This school is great. My son has attended since 3rd grade and has shown marked improvements in math and reading skills. The school is very active in community events and the PTA is awesome.
