More Seats For More Students: Create A Wilson Middle School

We support the APS staff's original proposal to build a 1,300-seat neighborhood middle school at the Wilson School site.

Why is this important?

Adopting the APS staff proposal to create a 1,300 seat neighborhood middle school at the Wilson School will address increased middle school crowding projected over the next five years. It will provide urgently needed capacity as rapidly and cost-effectively as possible, while avoiding moving additional students and programs, subjecting students and staff to construction, and sacrificing much-needed recreational space.
