Let's hope they make lots of positive changes!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-02-09 “Wilson is a great little school. With great teachers as well as students. The only problem is the principle along with her adminstrated staff to see what other parents think check this website out to http://wilsonparents.blogspot.com/2004/11/wilsonparents.html” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-08-27 “Our son is on his third year at Wilson. He really loves his school! Much credit goes to his teacher and the staff for creating a community feel where children enjoy learning and see themselves as active contributors in the classroom. I was unfamiliar with Montessori before this experience, but I can tell the self-paced curriculum encourages initiative and internal satisfaction from a job well done, no matter the level of the child. Our son was invited to attend the most popular g/t programs in town (tempting decisions...), but we decided to stick with Wilson because he has been so happy and has made amazing progress since he's started. The new principal is very accessible and dedicated to making Wilson even better. The building is older, but in the end I don't think that matters at all!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-07-06 “We have 2 children in Wilson Montessori. One has learning disabilities and attended Kinder and first grades in a traditional classroom setting. I have to day that the Montessori setting has been the best choice we have made for our son. He has had his ups and downs but actually said he like going to school! The freedom to move, talk, and work with classmates either on the floor, by the window, standing, sitting, and getting to choose what work to do; his disabilities work in his favor at times. In the traditional setting so much focus was given to changing what the teacher saw as a negative. Montessori uses the child s energy and natural need to explore and move as tools to assist in learning. The Montessori Method is not expensive daycare . Do your own research and read the studies. Montessori teaches the WHOLE child and uses the natural interests and activities. Traditional schools take each child and mold that child into tradition (~ Antonym ~ INNOVATION). Looking at test scores does not give the whole picture. Wilson is a young school looking forward and working to develop its Montessori middle school. Montessori is not for everyone. But for those of us who have seen so many positives in our children- it s priceless.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2009-07-02 “montessori enviroment is one of the best education tools for our children.It has been proven elsewhere.Wilson is in its infancy state and working to improve as fast as possible.Parents are very involved. Support from HISD is improving.Tests do not reflect what my two childrens are learning at Wilson. Good school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2009-04-21 “Excellent staff! Nurturing teachers and a very well rounded staff from the office support to the cafeteria.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2009-04-02 “This is my daughter's first year at Wilson Montessori and we have been very pleased! She is in Pre-K and is thriving. The students seem happy and engaged in the Montessori environment. The teachers are very kind and caring. Wilson has a strong sense of community and parent involvement. Great school!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2009-01-20 “The school must still be in transition. My child's school work and test grades have taken a nose dive. During her first year at Wilson she scored off of the charts on the standardized testing. This year, which is a reflection of her education at Wilson, her pretest screening for standardized tests are below average. I decided to give the school a chance and keep her there for another year, but it was a big mistake. I'm dreading what my child's scores are going to be for the real test. Testing is not everything, but let's face the facts our kids will always be tested. There are no montessori high schools or colleges. Their Reading program is horrible. Unless you work over time at home then your child will fall way behind on Reading. I'm very dissapointed and sad about having to move my child.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-12-04 “We are new to Wilson. We are coming from a private Montessori school setting and believe very strongly in the Montessori system. While it seems that Wilson is still working out some kinks, I have to say that my husband and I are very impressed with the energy there. Wilson just has a great feel to it and it seems that there is a determination to make more and more improvements as time goes on. We love to see the amount of parent involvement...it's great! The administration absolutely welcomes all parents to get participate in several aspects of the school and classrooms. It's true that there is great diversity within the student and parent body. Both of my children ended up with teachers that are absolutely outstanding and the office staff is quite approachable and ready to help. We are very excited to be part of this school!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-12-03 “My son is going to kindergarten and we are as pleased as we could be. The teaches are very good and dedicated. The parents are involved. It is small in the scheme of public schools and my son knows all of the administrators and teachers. There is a nice level of divirsity. My son is happy to go to school every day. We plan to bring him back next year for first grade.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-11-08 “This is a great school! The various ratings and past test scores do not reflect Wilson's current reality since its transition to a Montessori curriculum. The teachers, parents and staff are great and the children are happy and making huge strides. I would recommend it to anyone zoned to the school or at all interested in the Montessori system. My child tested into various gifted programs, but I am so glad we chose Wilson instead.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-11-04 “I love Wilson the teachers are excellent, principal comunicates well. It is fairly new and making improvements every day.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-09-05 “The Montessori program meets the needs of a variety of learners and the teachers are dedicated, flexible and respectful. My two boys have made excellent academic strides and love to go to school. The new principal is on-board with Montessori and open to parents. This is a great school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-09-19 “The new prinicple is a wonderful woman and a Univerisity of St. Thomas alumni. She reminds me of Martha Stewart! Wilson is the only public montesorri elementary in Houston and I am very happy with the school. The location, teachers, diversity of the students, and learning facitlities are excellent. I couldn't ask for a better public school for my son.”
