I think Willow Glen High was a really good school. I felt welcome by teachers and students. The community built inside Willow Glen is amazing and engaging.
8/23/2025
I'd like to see stronger extra curriculars. The school needs more music and more theater. Bring back marching band. Make robotics stronger.
6/27/2025
The school has a large problem with the bathrooms. Many kids will group up in a bathroom to smoke/vape, while other bathrooms are closed for months. Along with the fact that some of the kids that smoke make any non-smokers leave. Therefore it can be very difficult to use the restroom especially during breaks.

The principal, Amy Hanna has greatly increased communication at WGHS.

Her communication, transparency, and abi...

It's unfortunate this school used to be good. Unfortunately over the past year it has changed and not for the good. If you're looking for a principle that will communicate with you and treat students with respect & compassion take them somewhere else. It takes a strong leader to make a great school...

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...

Unfortunately, my child’s first year at this school wasn’t a good experience. I am disappointed in the lack of communication and assistance from the teacher and office staff, I would mark this school very low.
