Wilbur Cross High School

In the past year or two there is a visibly and audibly sense of calm at Cross. The admin/staff have a handle on how to work with students to keep them involved and on track. Naturally, as in most schools catering to adolescents, there is still a way to go. more

Wilbur Cross has gone through many transitional periods. Recently renovated, Wilbur Cross offers a great high school experience in a great quiet neighborhood. Wilbur Cross is located in the East Rock section of New Haven. It's located across the street from East Rock Park and the New Haven Ranger Station which offers many educational experiences. Recently, Wilbur Cross has instituted more arts programs which incorporate the performing arts within their curriculum. While still not considered an arts magnet school, it's well under way to becoming one. They also have a great mechanical program which offers hands on technical help for those looking to get into a trade field (mechanic, etc.) Wilbur Cross is a large school. There are approximately 1800 students that attend the school. more
