Her teachers have been supportive & encouraging, and the principal is the best! I have had same day responses from a teacher, her counselor, and the office mgr! What more could you want? We love it & are glad we switched from Curtis!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-12-22 “Wilson High School has a great enviroment for the students attending and hopefully it will stay this way thanks to the great teachers teaching at this school. The dropout rate has changed positvely in the last 20 years its abosoultely amazing.~ Shela” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-09-21 “So far this year the atmosphere is charged. Probably because of the new construction going on. Because of this the classes seem a bit over crowded, but with the decent teachers this seems to not be a problem!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2004-12-04 “This school is very money oriented. I find there are fees for everything and the cost of school events are sky high. Yes this is an upper class school, but there are those who aren't in that upper class that just can't afford these extra's. I find that even though they state they want parents input, they discourage it when faced with a parent. Acting like you are interfering with the school. There are some teachers that are very nice and helpful. I think they need people skills taught to the faculity. I also attend this school in the 80's and it hasn't changed a bit in these issues.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2004-09-02 “The administration of Wilson High school leaves a lot to be desired. They are unable to connect with parents. When asked for assistance you get a run around and way too many interuptions. Some of thw teachers are excellent while others either don't care or have issues with language barriers or not caring about the students. Wilson has a very low drop rate but look at the withdrawal rate instead. Many students go to other schools looking for the connection that just doesn't happen at Wilson.” Posted By: other Quality Score: 5 2003-08-10 “I am a student at Wilson and I defenetly think that this is the best school in Tacoma specially if you compare it with the dropout and Wasl improvements at the other schools.”
