Overall, the teachers and faculty are great! There are a few teachers where it''s like "Ehh." I am part of the K-Kids group of 2018-19 and the service projects are great! Just us K-Kids alone raised around $300 for Trick or Treat for UNICEF, part of the Eliminate Project. I''d give Wilder Elementary a 4 out of 5 stars.
