I moved to Wisconsin in the first semester of my sophomore year. I chose Williams Bay over another school after visiting each because of the closely-knit community. I was welcomed warmly and enjoyed the school. It definitely has a small town feel to it and everyone has known each other for years.

My junior year was my first year in a public high school, so it was vert different from being in a christian school. The academics are very good there. The teachers are always looking for your best interest, and want to make sure you succeed. I would like to see more communication in the staff members, and the staff being more vigilant towards what is going on in the school, but other than that I think the school is a really good school.
