Wilson Montessori is an amazing community of gifted educators, involved parents and eager students. We're thrilled that our daughter was lucky enough to secure a magnet space in this school.

Woodrow Wilson is the only public K-8 Montessori School in the city of Houston!


Posted April 6, 2010

We have 2 children enrolled and this is our 4th year there. Our 5th grader's class has not had a consistent teacher throughout the year! No teacher at the start of the year, then they found one for the 2nd 9 weeks and now that teacher did not return after Spring break back to subs and fill ins. It s extremely difficult to see your child with fragile self esteem and learning disabilities lose ground because HISD was not prepared. The Montessori Method s core is a competent, skilled, experienced guide (the teacher) that will be with the child for 3 years at a time I can very sadly say that Wilson has totally failed our child in this key aspect of Montessori. His education, social skills, and difficulties with transitioning have all suffered. However, even with some flaws, Wilson Montessori beats any TRADITIONAL style school!!!! With a new principle, comes the hope of better Montessori trained teachers that will fit together to form the best team and that is our hope. We know she will do what it takes to find the best teacher for our son s class. As parents of Montessori children, we are well aware of the benefits and continue these in the home. So, let s hurry up and get a competent MONTESSORI teacher in there STAT! Let s not lose anymore ground

This school is competitive with any private Montessori school in Houston.

We have two children at Wilson, 3rd and 5th grades, who have been in the Montessori program since its start there. The growth has been remarkable and we are very pleased. The teaching staff are excellent, dual certified, dedicated and creative. We are grateful to have had this option. Great historic building, but the T-shacks do need replacing - a chronic problem in HISD.

Our son is on his third year at Wilson. He really loves his school! Much credit goes to his teacher and the staff for creating a community feel where children enjoy learning and see themselves as active contributors in the classroom. I was unfamiliar with Montessori before this experience, but I can tell the self-paced curriculum encourages initiative and internal satisfaction from a job well done, no matter the level of the child. Our son was invited to attend the most popular g/t programs in town (tempting decisions...), but we decided to stick with Wilson because he has been so happy and has made amazing progress since he's started. The new principal is very accessible and dedicated to making Wilson even better. The building is older, but in the end I don't think that matters at all!

montessori enviroment is one of the best education tools for our children.It has been proven elsewhere.Wilson is in its infancy state and working to improve as fast as possible.Parents are very involved. Support from HISD is improving.Tests do not reflect what my two childrens are learning at Wilson. Good school.

This is my daughter's first year at Wilson Montessori and we have been very pleased! She is in Pre-K and is thriving. The students seem happy and engaged in the Montessori environment. The teachers are very kind and caring. Wilson has a strong sense of community and parent involvement. Great school!

The school must still be in transition. My child's school work and test grades have taken a nose dive. During her first year at Wilson she scored off of the charts on the standardized testing. This year, which is a reflection of her education at Wilson, her pretest screening for standardized tests are below average. I decided to give the school a chance and keep her there for another year, but it was a big mistake. I'm dreading what my child's scores are going to be for the real test. Testing is not everything, but let's face the facts our kids will always be tested. There are no montessori high schools or colleges. Their Reading program is horrible. Unless you work over time at home then your child will fall way behind on Reading. I'm very dissapointed and sad about having to move my child.

We are new to Wilson. We are coming from a private Montessori school setting and believe very strongly in the Montessori system. While it seems that Wilson is still working out some kinks, I have to say that my husband and I are very impressed with the energy there. Wilson just has a great feel to it and it seems that there is a determination to make more and more improvements as time goes on. We love to see the amount of parent involvement...it's great! The administration absolutely welcomes all parents to get participate in several aspects of the school and classrooms. It's true that there is great diversity within the student and parent body. Both of my children ended up with teachers that are absolutely outstanding and the office staff is quite approachable and ready to help. We are very excited to be part of this school!

My son is going to kindergarten and we are as pleased as we could be. The teaches are very good and dedicated. The parents are involved. It is small in the scheme of public schools and my son knows all of the administrators and teachers. There is a nice level of divirsity. My son is happy to go to school every day. We plan to bring him back next year for first grade.

This is a great school! The various ratings and past test scores do not reflect Wilson's current reality since its transition to a Montessori curriculum. The teachers, parents and staff are great and the children are happy and making huge strides. I would recommend it to anyone zoned to the school or at all interested in the Montessori system. My child tested into various gifted programs, but I am so glad we chose Wilson instead.

The Montessori program meets the needs of a variety of learners and the teachers are dedicated, flexible and respectful. My two boys have made excellent academic strides and love to go to school. The new principal is on-board with Montessori and open to parents. This is a great school.

The new prinicple is a wonderful woman and a Univerisity of St. Thomas alumni. She reminds me of Martha Stewart! Wilson is the only public montesorri elementary in Houston and I am very happy with the school. The location, teachers, diversity of the students, and learning facitlities are excellent. I couldn't ask for a better public school for my son.

About the tests


In 2010-2011, the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) was used to test students in reading in grades 3 through 9; in writing in grades 4 and 7; in English language arts in grades 10 and 11; in mathematics in grades 3 through 11; in science in grades 5, 8, 10 and 11; and in social studies in grades 8, 10 and 11. TAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Texas. The grade 11 Exit Level TAKS is a high school graduation requirement. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.

The different student groups are identified by the Texas Education Agency; if there are a small number of students in a particular group, the state doesn't report data for that group.

About the tests


Texas uses Accountability Ratings to indicate the overall performance of each school and district. The ratings are based on TAKS test results, dropout rates for grades 7 and 8 and school completion rates for grades 9 through 12. Schools and districts rated under standard accountability procedures are designated as Exemplary, Recognized, Academically Acceptable or Academically Unacceptable. Schools and districts rated under alternative education accountability (AEA) procedures are designated as either AEA: Academically Acceptable or AEA: Academically Unacceptable.
