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 part about going to King William High School is the diversity in experience amongst students and staff. There are almost always transfers mixed in every year that either don't speak English or have never been in such a rural county before. However the attention the staff puts on groups of students is misplaced. Troubled kids who don't do well with school get more attention and preparation than those who strive to be successful scholars.

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.

The school is overall pretty good. Some teachers and subs you get through the country aren't all that great. But I have to say they keep it pretty clean.

I am part of a few minorities within this school; in result, this usually leads to bullying and seclusion which seems to rarely or effectively be taken care of.

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...
