I am switching to willow canyon this year and have toured the school various times and have learned about what they do on campus. I also follow their sports and have connections with multiple people I know within the school, who all told me it was a great place to be.

An overall good school, some of the teachers can be hit or miss, and it's very apparent that some of them don't want to be there. The food is lright, really the highlight is the food truck that stops by once in a blue moon. Acedemically quite nice, I've never found myself being lazy in a class unless the topic itself was disinteresting. There's plenty of clubs, and the people tend to be quite kind.

Willow Canyon is a perfect school for someone, like me, who came from 11 years of a small charter school. Having real football games to celebrate, huge assemblies, and fun clubs are all great reasons to go to Willow. I wish more students enjoyed the school spirit and sometimes I get embarrassed when many people don't appreciate it as much. I don't regret choosing this school, though, especially when many options are closer to my house.

If you are upset with the teacher or principal. Report them to the state. You can do this online. They have to renew their license every 10 years. If the state gets enough complaints, they won't renew it.

From my experience, the teachers at Willow Canyon high school as well as the principal only look out for themselves. If your student is caught for anything and they will find stuff to accuse your child of they will threaten to suspend you and the principal will not Listen to anything you have to say...

Biased treatment of students, horrible administration staff . Worst school ever, this school is a perfect example of a broken education system and teachers that only work for their littler paychecks!.

My daughter went to school there for all four years of high school. Then went on to ASU. It not only taught her the school subjects but taught her leadership.
