0 out of 10 stars. Send your kid anywhere but here. 3 of our kids went here and when they moved onto middle school they were so far behind all other students who went to different schools. When I was asked where they went to elementary school I said Wilburn and they all scored average grades in Wilburn. I was told that Thats what happens when they get students from Wilburn and that my kids would have to work extra hard to catch up and relearn how to learn. Do yourself a favor and get your kids in a different elementary school, basically any other elementary school.

We have had an overall great experience here. I now have a rising Kindergartener and a Special Education 3rd grader in the AU2 Classroom. The teachers and other staff have always been friendly and we have an open line of communication.

While we have had a few isolated great teachers, overall this has been a very negative experience.

I feel this school is seriously under rated. My child attends here and we've seen such great progress. We intend on sending our daughter here as well. The classes are smaller than some of the surrounding schools which allows your child more one on one attention. The teacher our son's assigned to is a seasoned professional, who has a lot of experience teaching. This school utilizes class dojo app that allows you to text directly to your child's teachers. It's been remodeled so the facilities are nice and clean. The principal doesn't hesitate to get involved with the students. Often they hold curriculum nights with themes and makes it fun for the children. The principal attends these events and encourages families to attend. She has even dressed in costume aside the children! It's refreshing to know that she is so involved. Our child needs an IEP to accomedate his needs because he is a medical student. The nurse personally did research on his condition, she attended the meetings to help better inform everyone involved in his care. It's especially comforting to know that she is knowledgeable and caring to do all this for us. The staff at the front desk is always friendly and welcoming. They are knowledgeable and quick to direct you to exactly what you need. Overall this school has had a wonderful influence on our child. The staff has been amazing for me as a parent. This is a great school and it continues to get better.
