We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The best parts about Willowridge High School are the amount of support you get from the teachers and staff. I would like to see changes in the way the students are during passing period. For example they are always standing in the middle and blocking the way.

A program rich in history, anyone in the Missouri City area would be blessed - but also tasked to become an eagle. With being a school trying to climb back to its glory days not only through athletics, but also in the classroom, it's definitely a work in progress and there's improvement genuinely everyday at the school.

I have been attending WHS for four years now...
