My experience in Williamsburg Preparatory School has been a great time. Even with COVID-19 taking over half of my freshman and my full sophomore year, the experiences and fun they try to include when we finally came back is unmatched. The school is very diverse and we're all a community that stands with each other. I would not want to have it any other way.

Honestly i haven't been in this school for very long because I recently change here but it isn't the best school . This school has good courses but you have to search for the opportunities instead of teachers offering them to you and if they do its to their favorites. There isn't enough guidance for...
