Wrightsville Beach Elementary School

WB School is fine. But not the school for any kids that are not completely typcial and average. I have 2 children that went there for 2 years, my kids are AIG (gifted) and have some needs in other ways too. The school was just not the place for them. It thrives on the average, typical child. There are many other excellent schools in the area that specialize in more gifted kids, ADHD, Autism or whatever your needs may be. I am having huge success with my kids now at another nearby school that supports them in AIG and otherwise. They feel good about themselves now and are thriving!

It is the best school in New Hanover County! With small class sizes, an amazing staff, an environmental and outdoor learning center in its backyard, WBS is more than a school... it's a community and a family!

I had children at Wrightsville Beach School for 8 years. I don't think that I could be more impressed with any school. The teachers went above and beyond my expectations of a public school. They were extremely competent and, more importantly, loving and thoughtful. The entire school from principal to custodian to teachers and support staff were like an extended to my children. My girls will always be positively influenced by WBS.

Wrightsville Beach Elementary is a warm and caring environment. It is a small school and the atmosphere is more like a family than a public school. The teachers are dedicated to the students and the learning process. My son was a student at WBS for four years. It was a wonderful, comfortable and successful experience for him which was so important because during his time there his brother was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. The principal, faculty, staff, parents and student body embraced and supported him during this difficult time.
