Wilkes is a wonderful school. The teacher's are caring and go above and beyond the curriculum making learning fun for their students. We are lucky to have specialists in PE, Art, Music and Library.

Although this Bainbridge School is higly rated, I was more than disappointed upon entering my child in first grade. Her class is maxed out at 25 students, and the curriculum seems simplistic and inferrior to that of her kindergarten in CA. Her teacher informed us that she is 1 of 4 in her class that can read and their math curriculum requires that they must know how to count only to 15 by the end of the year. History is learning the family tree. The district seems desperate for funding so I don't forsee much relief on the student:teacher ratio and the resulting benefits from a smaller class size.

Teachers are top notch. Our kids would rather go to school than have a day off. Parent involvement is very strong. Great school!

excellent, caring, long-staying teachers and staff; i can't say enough great stuff about the teachers at all levels--WOW!. however, am not impressed with the principal, who seems apathetic in comparison to her staff. the facilities are older, but with a new bond and tech levy just passed, these will be improved. again, teachers have been incredibly creative and good-tempered about working in these conditions; they deserve the improvements & changes to come. great pto in terms of amount of funds raised, but also in terms of number of sheer hours spent in classrooms. what a team! sad to be leaving this year...
