Wilson is a VERY excellent school for early childhood through 1st grade. However, the large class size is very much a problem. Wilson is on the right track.
They have done a great job and mr. Shoe is the best!
My child attended a school in another state and it blew this one away. It's probably the best Elementary school in the OKC area, but nowhere near an 'Excellent (5 star) school when compared to schools on a national level. That is probably due to the sub-par education system of Oklahoma.
While we are very happy with the curriculum, your information on student/teacher ratio is way off base. My child has attended since Pre-K and with the exception of 2nd grade (because they have 3 second grade teachers) his classes have been packed. My child is currently in 3rd grade and has 29 students, the other 3rd grade is 28. If this issue could be corrected it would make this school a truly great school.
Full time drama, music, art, and movement teachers.
Our school has the most dedicated teachers and administration, as well as parent and community support I have ever seen. Our school focuses on integrating art in every aspect of our childrens' education, instead of following the trend of lessening the focus on the arts. We are proof that this dedication and focus results in a positive learning experience, and children who excelthroughout their middle and high school years.
The arts integration curriculum is fabulous. Our parents are very involved in our diverse school.
My child is new to Wilson and I have already fallen in love with all of the wonderful curriculum and parental involvement. Our kids learn from an early age through building, playing and natural problem solving. They have fun and enjoy what Wilson has to offer. The amount of diversity provides an atmosphere of tolerance and understanding and the power of parental involvement here is phenomenal. I see children being taught about nutrition through gardening and the Eat Wise club and learning to problem solve through Chess club. My daughter has been in private schools for the past two year and I spent 12 years in similar surroundings. I appreciate every single day we LEARN at Wilson! Thank you....
-OKC kids' best chance to get into an IB school (highest Classen acceptance rate). -Better education than most private schools -Ethnically, socially, and economically diverse
The thing that impresses us the most is how much not only the teachers but all staff invest in students lives as well as nurture and care for them! Most schools can boast that they have good educators.... but very few can say all of the adults in their buildding go the extra mile for their students. Fortunately, Wilson Arts Integration Elementary is a school that does both extremely well!
