Willowbrook was a foundational learning experience both in terms of what to expect in real life and how to excel academically. I would like more standardized test prep as I felt that I was very prepared for AP tests, but was unprepared for the PSAT or SAT.

There were a lot of fights in the halls, lots of racism and nothing done about it. Yet there were a lot of great people and great aura.

The worst was the lack of charge from hall monitors. I loved that we as a school were all close together!
