I took my kids out of Wildwood because it seemed to me that they do not offer many choices to students. They are not into inovation or change,they just keep doing the same thing over and over. You have teachers that have had the same grade for years. Good teachers are, Mrs Haxton,Mrs. Brush, all second grade teachers. First grade teachers are so,so. And the rest are all good. I do not like the PTA parents, they just can not think about different fund risers. No special assemblies for kids. Overall the school is good if you are willing to supply a lot of extra time working on your own with your kid and paying all sort of extra classes to supplement what the school lacks.

I can't tell you how wonderful of a short experience we had here. We had no idea how wonderful the teachers and staff were until we had to transfer to a new school within a short period. The new school is not great so we are going to a private school. Had we had a choice to stay at Wildwood, we would rate it over the others. The new principle is in fact excellent and very helpful and parent participation was at a very high level. Everyone involved with the school put forth every effort to make the school a positive high energy space to participate in!!!

We transferred over from University to Wildwood 2 years ago. What a difference in teachers. University teachers were nice, but the Wildwood teachers were fabulous. The teachers at Wildwood are a cut above. Especially Mrs. Brunsell, who teaches 5th grade! She is brilliant, organized and inspires the kids to be the best they can be. She teaches a morning math class before school with Mrs. Moorehead another excellent 5th grade teacher. As parents we want the best education, loving, brilliant teachers who make learning fun. Wildwood is a small school, but Our Teachers here are more exceptional than any other private or public school.

Although teachers are excellent, the new principal is a kind of an optimism. He couldn't understand how we were serious when my daughter has been bullied. The school councelar is coming just once a week, so she can't help when they need her help. Also she seems to need to have the princeple permission, it makes the problem worse. This school is small and very conservative. Music band was built up by PTA lasy year but it has almost gone by this principle.
