I'd like to see stronger extra curriculars. The school needs more music and more theater. Bring back marching band. Make robotics stronger.

As an alumni, I believe Willow Glen High School is not a great high school to send students to. In my four years with the school, I have seen things from P.E. teachers being arrested for child pornography to close calls with school shooting.

Overall most teachers are great, never had a problem. It is a very diverse school but there needs to be more student oriented activities. Rather than spending on admins and unnecessary purchases. Get more resources for the students to use.

If your kid can tolerate bullying and feeling excluded, send your kid here. Some teachers seem to just be there for a paycheck. Teachers don't care about someone getting picked on. The AP courses are good, but the school does a poor job of helping students that may not have as great study habits as...
