This school is….interesting. There are many good and bad things about it. The teachers and students could be a lot better, but overall the attending here has been relatively tolerable.

As a fellow student of Wilson middle school I just never imagined a school could be this hateful. I’ve been going to Wilson Middle school for 3 years, 6th,7th, and my current year 8th, and when I rated the character part of this I put two because this school makes you have a terrible experience as a person and it will make your child or you worse because this school is putting life personal life turn into school because all you do is work and and the teachers, jeez they don’t even know the subject. I know you might think I’m just some teenager complaining about school but I’m seriously not rethink send I get you child to this school because it’s something I would definitely not recommend doing help your kid out and don’t choose this school.

We have a special needs child and rather than supporting us the staff has tried to use bullying our son as a means to make us do what they want.

My family and I moved from a top rated school in NC to Carlisle and we could not be happier with the Wilson MS. The services the school provides my daughter is truly designed with my daughter in mind to excel. The school has been nothing but phenomenal in learning about my daughter's tells and helping her. The staff reached out to me with areas that my daughter needed extra assistance and offered to provide assistance to me. My daughter has an IEP and requires modified work, which they strictly follow unlike the last school. The staff has gone above & beyond my expectations in ensuring my daughter (as a whole child) receives the help she needs academically and socially! If your child as an IEP, this is the right school for you. The staff genuinely cares about each student!

My daughter improved her reading skills with Mrs.Oswalt and I want to thank her. And to Mrs.Ruegg in 6th grade my daughter had her and went up from level 6 to level 8.

Our daughter went to Wilson last year (2012-2013). We liked the teachers but she was not challenged at all. She was bored and learned very little. Our daughter is a very quiet girl and was bullied at this school. It was a horrible experience. She witnessed many fights and many of the kids are rude and disrespectful to teachers. Our daughter had never been in this type of environment and it was too much for her. This year we have switched her to St. Patricks. A much better fit and she is finally happy.
