It is probably the most ethnically inclusive school in the nation. It includes many children from the Embassies here in DC who come from all over the world.I am a grandparent of several grandchildren who have gone to Woodrow Wilson. My daughter was President of the PTA.

Like any other Public School, Wilson lacks a few things. Wilson provides a wonderful education if you want it. Don't blame the school, blame yourself. Wilson is excellent and has so much to offer. It is diverse and the teachers are very understanding. You should see some of the colleges people get into. Its amazing. GO TIGERS!

Wilson has such a terrible reputation, but speaking as a student, I know that it's not nearly as bad as most people think. Although some of the teaching is slightly lacking, most of the teachers, especially in AP courses, are educated in their subjects, and know how to make it so the students want to learn. Wilson tought me more about diversity and acceptance than any other schools in the neighborhood ever could, and under a new administration, things are really looking up, with their motto 'Creating the model urban high school.' There is adequate help in college counceling, and most teachers are more than willing to help with anything, and there are countless clubs and athletic teams that are available. I mean, our country's second richest man attended Wilson, along with Dave Chappelle.
