Wilson High School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2009-06-01 “My son graduated from Wilson in 2007. He is now at UCI. He has told me that he felt very prepared form college. He attributes being so well prepared to his schooling at WHS. He did take a lot of AP courses and just missed getting the Distinguished Scholars madallion. Wilson has it's problems but overall is a very good school and the people of Long Beach should be proud of this school.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 1 2009-03-17 “This school is one of the worst schools I ever been to. For me, the school doesn't feel classical. I also can't stand some of the teachers their. I am currently trying to get out of this school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2009-02-23 “Actually there are about 4,200 students (not over 5,000) currently at Wilson. Additionally the combination of declining enrollment and the recently passed school bond that will build 4 new thematic high schools will result in Wilson's reduction to about 3,500 students within the next 4 to 5 years. Wilson is a very good school with a great 'distinguished honors' program.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-09-02 “Wilson is a very large school with over 5000 students. With this size you are going to have challenges. As a parent my biggest concern has been that kids get lost in this environment unless they are playing a sport or are in the drama program. Students tend to hang out with friends from their sports team and stay within their group of friends. A student needs to work extra hard to make their learning experience a valuable one here.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-09-02 “I am a parent and a teacher who sent both of my sons to LB Wilson. We couldn't have selected a finer school for them to attend and receive a quality education. Wilson has programs for every individual, the counselors are amazing and keep the students on track for what they need to graduate and attend a 4 year college. Both of our sons played sports, and maintained at least a 3.0 gpa all 4 years. I love the new 'school loop' program that allows parents to know how their child is doing in all their classes. The principals, teachers and staff care about their students and the school. It's a great place to learn!” Posted By: student Quality Score: decline 2008-07-24 “I think school is great it. It has great ways to be invovled and with its classical program it causes the students to learn more and get more credits and it is also a safe enviorment.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-10-15 “Being that it is such a huge school my son and daughter have had a very difficult time in the athletics department. They both came from a smaller school enviorment. The transition has not been easy for them Neither of them have made the cut for sports teams they excelled it in smaller schools.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-10-15 “My son graduated in June 07 and I feel that he has a taste of the real world and how to find and or make his own way after attending Wilson High School. My other son is in 10th grade this year '08. The school has uniforms and it is awesome! Yes they are strict but not that strict. It improves the quality of the school! The school is very safe! I feel the students are safer at Wilson than a high school where they aren't proactive in keeping the students safe because just when they say it couldn't happen at my school, it does and will. The academic programs are great and so are the sports. My older son played 4 years of water polo and my younger son plays soccer and no you don't need to be a super star athlete to be on a particular team.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2007-01-05 “As a recent graduate of Wilson, now a student at Cal Poly Pomona, I feel as though the overall quality of teachers and educators was excellent during my four years there. While I did at times feel as though the non-teaching administrative staff cared less about quality of education and more about upholding petty uniform regulations, in the end I feel that the education I received was of an exceptional caliber. The relationships I formed while in attendance, along with fond memories of the good times spent there will stay with me for the rest of my life.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2006-11-20 “Well my dad is a teacher there and he is an inspiration to everyone also he is the Varsity Softball coach! Wilson is a great academic High School.....and a great dance school (I think best in the state) And The Distinguished Scholars program is very educated. The safety of the school is wonderful, they have security guards if needed and there are wonderful teachers that help. The parent involvement is great! They have a fantastic number of parents that help and raise money for Wilson! There Volleyball team is also one of the best in the state! The teachers care so much about getting the students prepared for the next grade or college. Even though you have to wear uniforms the teachers are pretty lenient about them. Wilson will help you reach your goals by helping each student individually and making sure that they need to know what is needed of them and for the next grade.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2006-10-21 “I am a student at Wilson & I just the teachers & everyone is so nice to you. The principals are very supports the school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-03-03 “My son graduated last year and had a great experience with the AP classes offered and the caliber of the teachers involved. I love that they wear 'uniforms' that include plenty of 'wiggle room' for personal style, which is the ideal compromise. The PTA is very active and effective, but the structure does not yield adequate opportunities for participation from working parents. My only criticism is that the counselors have too many students assigned and do not follow up with parent calls and issues.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-01-11 “Too overcrowded. The fields are in very poor shape. Counselors are over worked, don't count on them to help much with anything! Distinguished Scholoars program is very good for the motivated student. Many AP courses... if your student is having a struggle plan on sepending your own money for a tutor, Wislon tried but cannpt offer consistent quanily and quality of tutoring.Wilson tries very hard and mostly succeeds in keeping the school safe. Parents have to be involved in their students lide as everything you can imagine is available...” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2005-11-16 “Administration & teachers are more interested in regulations than course content, learning & advising. Administration is reactive and unresponsive. Academic counseling is nonexistent” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-04-03 “The School is an excellent public school. Most of the teacher's are excellent, some as always need improvement. Great Drama, dance and athletic departments. Lots of social activities and great involvment by the students.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 2 2005-02-07 “I am disappointed that at a school in where house values could be so high one could get such bad education and a non safe environment.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2004-12-06 “This is a great school for athletics. They have several gyms and programs ranging from gymnastics to water polo. Also, there are a variety of AP classes and very interesting courses not available at other high schools such as Marine Biology. The campus is quite large but the atmosphere is great. Students really feel as though they are apart of a community of learners and active participants in their future. There are many areas for students to be involved including clubs such as drama, mock trial and foreign language clubs. There are also informal sororities on campus that provide a positive social atmosphere for female students. What can I say but that it is great to be a Bruin! Also, the student council runs a great hangout for students after dances and games called the Bruin Den, it is a lot of fun for students and very safe.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2003-12-18 “I attend this school. We have to sign a contract that we will wear a uniform and keep a grade point average of 2.0 or above or else! This school is one of two high school in the nation that have to wear a uniform. We have winning teams and great academics.”
