My overall experience at King William High School has been positive. Over the past four years I've learned a great amount of information, and have grown into the person I am today with the help of my teachers. Although, the down side of attending this school is that there are not as many resources available since it's a rural school, but I have made the most of what is offered during my time there.

NO AUDITORIUM IN THIS SCHOOL! Above average teachers and students. However, there are problems with communication on discipline across the board. Cell phones are a big issue... administration and school board didn't want to really touch the issue so teachers had to do all the work and dealt with it...
