School Reviews
5 12/19/2014
This school is excellent. A lot of people say that their middle school years were terrible but this isn't really true for me. Wilber Wright offers so many extracurricular activities, that nobody is left out if they don't like their classes. Their arts programs are running steady even if we keep getting new teachers every couple years... The only think you might not like about this school is that it still is middle school. There are still fights, still weird two day relationships, some mean teachers (most of them are cool though!) and you get pushed a lot. Oh, and there are always a lot of lunch detentions!
