Wicklund Elementary School

Terrible experience with substitue teacher in 6th grade. The quality of teacher tells all about the management at this school. I have 2 kids which were previously going to Bethany school in this district and they were happy. My son started going to 6th grade in Wicklund in 2017. Teacher is not encouraging and does not push him positively to achieve his goals. I am thinking to get a transfer within the district if things remain as they are at this school.

Great. Kids state test scores improve within the year. Teachers are an absolute joy. I have 2 kids that have been here k-8th and my 3rd is there now.

My kids have been going to Wicklund Elementary from the beginning. My son is in the 5th grade and my daughter is in the 7th grade. I have noticed that the school has evolved substantially over the past years. The teachers and the principal, Mr. Gonzales, are very much involved with the daily activities and the curriculum. I have observed that the teachers for both my kids spend quality time ensuring that the kids are aware of their subjects. In addition to the teaching in the class, adequate homework assignments are also provided to keep the kids involved. Students are encouraged to participate in several activities to bring an overall development. “Art on Wheels” program is successfully run to bring out the creative skills of the scholars. Wicklund students have been doing amazingly well in Science Olympiad, under the leadership of Mr. Kurien. Year after year they have been successfully competing to get the top ranks on the county level. Students competing in Math Olympiad have also been equally successful. Students interested in Music and dramatics have also been given due encouragement. The winter and spring concerts promisingly display the skills sets developed by these talented young musicians. I am happy to see the first school of Mountain House shaping up well.

The staff and teachers are very supportive and caring. The principal, Mr. Gonzales is quite impressive and very hands on! Our boys are academically challenged and we couldn't be happier. Go Wildcats!
