So far so good. It's my first year at this school so I can't say much. But overall a great school, with good teachers and academics. This school has great sports as well.

One aspect I enjoyed about Williams High School were the plethora of clubs you were able to join. One aspect I would recommend improving would be the facilities within the school because they are very outdated.

I loved the atmosphere and the diversity of people. While I was there I learned so much about a wide variety of subjects and was able to really improve myself academically. Additionally, I was able to make many friends and meaningful relationships that I believe will stay with me for the rest of high school and beyond.
