A student is admitted to Wilson High School either as an in boundary student or as an out of boundary student.
In boundary students live within the official boundaries of Wilson as described in the School Attendance Zone document.
Out of boundary students live outside the official boundaries of Wilson and must have special permission to attend. Special permission is obtained by the out of boundary application process or by application to an academy. All out of boundary students are admitted on a year-to-year basis. Academy students' continuation at Wilson within the academy is established by each academy. Students who fail to maintain the academy's minimum requirements will be requested to return to their neighborhood schools. Students on regular out of boundary must maintain a 2.0 and demonstrate acceptable behavior and attend on a consistent and timely basis. Students who fail to maintain the minimum requirements will be returned to their neighborhood schools.
All students must be accompanied by the custodial parent(s) or guardian(s). No student is to be registered without the parental adult present. Once students are admitted, they may register for classes without an adult.
