We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have autism so I believe the resources to help me were great. My counselors and aides all worked together to help me grow socially, academically and emotionally. In addition, I am transgender and accommodations were in place to make me feel comfortable and safe. There were many LGTBQ clubs to join. I feel fully prepared for college because of my education at Willowbrook.

Overall, my experience at Willowbrook was a good one. I was a transfer student and it was a very accommodating school and has a lot of support systems for the students.

I like the staff at WBHS, they are very supportive. I wish we had better security, and overall just more security in our school, such as metal detectors or having to wear lanyards with our IDs on them. You can never be too safe.
