GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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 attended Willard Public Schools my entire life, and overall I have been very happy. They provide many options of sports and activities to get involved. I have played softball and basketball for years, and I am a member of the Student Government Association and the National Honors Society. Some of the school lunches could be improved, and they could be less strict about dress code. They could focus more on more important issues.

My experience at willard hasn't been the best. There are some teachers you pray you don't get, and some you hope you get. The student's aren't really listened to, and the school isn't welcoming unless it's around Christmas and they have the Christmas lights up. The students here are rude, and not friendly.

Willard is a great high school! The teachers care and the staff is helpful. As a former student, I can say that the high school admin cares about the students and their safety.

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...
