The best part about being a part of willard is that they the teachers who I had during my time cared and wanted the best for us as students. We were always given their full attention and never felt that my needs as a student were ignored by them. I learned a lot throughout my time there and truly appreciate their care about our education. While there is a lot of good in the school, there is also bad parts such as when I went to pioneer for my junior year it was hard to also be a part of the amazing things that willard out together as it often felt that we were left out and often did not receive an invention to events. Also during my senior year it is hard to be able to know the things that are needed in order for me to graduate and often I find out last minute of things that need to be turned in. Although it is hard, I cherish my time at both pioneer and Willard as they care and want the best for us as students.

Willard high school truly is an amazing experience as long as you excel at what you're doing. However there are few AP classes or higher level math/science classes. Great if you want to do anything that's not math or science related.

My experience with Willard High School has been amazing academically. They have a good amount of challenging courses, including various Advanced Placement courses. The community and life around the school are great, aside from the lack of interest in learning and academics among peers.

I absolutely loved my time at Willard High School. We unexpectedly left the country I call home due to an invasion a few months before I started my senior year here in fall of 2022. The teachers were all very understanding of minor issues I had because of this, and gave me margin whenever I needed i...

2 years into this "pandemic" and the overweight politically correct left-leaning "teachers" are still running around in masks. I used to work there and was made to feel uncomfortable for refusing to wear a face diaper to fit in after it became "optional". As a former teacher I know these teachers ar...

My experience with this school isn't good. I don't exactly feel the safest here since there has been boys threatening girls to do certain things to them and yet not much was done about it, which makes me feel less safe. There has been certain threats as well that made me feel even less safe. Student...
