Wilder Elementary School

My son has been at Wilder for two years and we couldn't love this school more. From the principal down to the teachers, everyone there does an amazing job and my son is excelling. We are big fans of this school and would highly recommend it to anyone in the area.

Wilder is great. We have a 5th and 3rd grader there. The staff from principal down to individual teachers are great. The PTO does a great job to get all the parents involved and my kids like going to school (well most mornings..) I'm proud of the teachers and Mrs Dalton should be proud of the staff morale she has achieved.

My children have had awful experiences at Wilder, glad to be leaving. Bullying to the point of physical injury (my 2nd grader returned home from school twice with a black eye swollen shut), cliques (almost seem to be encouraged as the administration allows certain parents to choose their child's teacher and friends in classroom year after year), advanced/GT course placement preferences (was told by the principal there was no longer room for my child in GT math even though he still qualified. Was able to fight to have him put back in the following year after being advised it was illegal for the school not to make room for him). Several families have pulled their kids from Wilder in the last few years due to similar experiences and the administrations apparent lack of concern and accountability even though they are well aware of these situations.

If I could give this school zero stars, then I would. This is by far one of the worst schools I have ever sent my children to. Their was so much bulling, and their honors program was really bad. At Wilder, you always got A's, no matter what you did. The teachers picked favorites, and the other kids were very mean, as well as some of the teachers.
