I absolutely love James R. Watson. I may be biased since I work here, but I love all the staff, the students, my work environment, and my job position. I will be going into my 8th year here at Watson starting next year, and I plan on retiring from here.

Horrible experience taking my special needs child here!! This is such a sad place to go to school for any student though. I would say more but 'great schools' will not allow.
