Wilson's Mills Elementary reviews?

My neighbors son will start kindergarten next year at Wilson's Mills and is very unsure of the school. I am of the opinion that the teachers are the ones that matter at a school, not how it looks or student population. But, I don't have any personal experiences at this school.

Does anyone have any opinions of this school I can pass on to her?

Thanks!

 

I don't know anything about the school, but I am a firm believer that teachers AND parents make for a successful student.

Here are two completely different reviews. http://www.greatschools.org/school/parentReviews.page?id=1075&state=NC#from..HeaderLink

I know, I am a big help.

 

If you are unsure of the school, move or homeschool or go to a private school. If none of these can apply, deal, and make the best of it you can. School is what it is and what you make out of it.

 

Did you use the "search" feature on 4042.com Forums? I did and a old but interesting discussion took place several years ago. Other than Barney many others had some very negative things to say about the WM elementary school.

Yes, I did try to search first but the relevant posts were old or did not contain any details...I know something that I could deal with may be unbearable to someone else.

I do agree that it takes a partnership between parents and teachers to ensure a successful education.

I am just wondering if there is anything specific that I should pass on to my neighbor and could also be helpful for us down the road when my son gets old enough to start school.

 

My children did not attend Wilson's Mill's, so what I know has been through other people's kids. What I do know is that a child who made Principle's List 2 years in a row failed her EOG's, both times. Just saying....

 

All I know about the school is that there is a very good Kindergarten teacher there this year. I know because she transferred from my kids' school and everyone loves her.

 

I was going to say the same thing. Had her for our middle child and you couldn't get a better teacher.
