Wildwood is in a decent spot being right by the park, which is great for the kids getting fresh air, but the overcrowding issue is definitely felt in the building. An annex was added to help, but it still feels like they are bursting at the seams most days. When you have that many kids packed in, every cold or stomach bug just rips through the classrooms like wildfire. Communication from the office about illness outbreaks is okay, but I wish they were a bit more proactive about deep cleaning the shared spaces. It's a solid school for academics, but the wellness side of things feels a bit 'rustic' and stretched thin.
