Wilson Woodrow Senior High School

Very unfriendly and dirty. The staff take their jobs way too seriously and the teachers (for the most part) avoid working whenever possible. Frequent arrests occur on campus. The experience here is altogether too reminiscent of a World Star Hip Hop video.

Bomb as hell. You gotta go to this school, the Bruins are the BEST. Also best swim team in the league by far!

I would honestly give the school itself a 5 star, but due to recent experience, it got only 2.
The school was amazing, but if you plan on coaching at this school, especially softball, I suggest you second guess it! There are always two coaches per division. They tell you they will pay you for working there and when you are hit with family problems and financial hardship they say that they originally hired you to be at there for the whole season and that you would only be paid a small stipend. The don’t give you a copy of the contract when requested or anything. They don’t tell you that they won’t pay you for the times you did work. They try to make you feel guilty for leaving the other coach «high and dry» when in reality, they leave you all high and dry. They are greedy. They suck all the money out of the students and parents and don’t give anything back. Where does the money go? Parents still ask this, even at the parent meetings. They never know where the money goes, or what it goes to. They don’t know what is spent. They tell you they will tell you, but they don’t. They never tell you what they spend it on. Just that it is «for the program.»
They also make empty promises. First they promise the girls to have spirit packs. Then what happens? They said, oh too bad, we’re only offering this option to the Varsity girls even though the head coach tells every parent that each girl will have an opportunity to purchase the pack. Not only did they lie, they let down the girls who were actually looking forward to this spirit pack. They promise coaches helmets and that doesn’t happen. Not only that, they tell you they will reimburse you for different things but they don’t. One example is the cpr & first aid training course. They tell you they will reimburse you but they don’t. They tell you a lot of things to reel you in. Then they use you up, stress you out, just so that you will quit. That’s their goal so that they won’t have to pay you. Right now, they say they will save the money from the hit-​a-​thon and use that for the banquet. More than likely, they will ask for more money during the season and say that it will be «for the banquet». I wouldn’t trust the head coach at all. Not one bit.
The head coaches hire 4 Varsity coaches, but can’t find 2 for the freshman team. They cut almost every girl to where there is only the bare minimum amount of players. They don’t plan very well at all.
Lack of Communication. While working, I get constant complaints from parents stating that they cannot reach the head coach. There is absolutely no communication unless the coach wants something from you.
I used to play softball for this school. I loved it. The coaches made me feel like home, but these coaches… this is a whole another story. Each division is separated by an invisible wall. Coaches in higher division talk down to those in the lower division. How is this suppose to encourage girls to strive to do well when the coaches make them feel inadequate? To be honest, the lower division softball team does better than the higher division softball team (JV and Varsity). What kind of team discourages girls from moving up? Girls move up to JV because they can’t be in any other team due to their age.
Long story short, DO NOT coach for Wilson’s Softball Team unless you plan on volunteering.

this school is a good school to have your kids go to. ive seen major improve ments from my child going here.

i graduated in ’05 and even tho i got into alot of trouble it was a pretty good school. OH the memories! lol
