I have had a great time in high school at Williamstown. While some people arent the nicest it's a small town school with a graduating class of around 80. Teachers are nice but if one thing could change it would be the food. It is horrid.

I have gone to Williamstown my entire life. I really appreciate the friends and connections I have made there. The teachers are amazing and care about you like their family. I enjoy the environment as well. The one thing I would change is the college classes we are allowed to take . We do not have as many opportunities as other school. Williamstown only provides so many options and they are not as much as the other schools.

Very small school. Everyone has known everyone since the beginning of time so you're fine if you've always been in Williamstown. If you are new or don't fit into their pretty little maroon and gold box your life will be turned upside down and they will eventually force you out, including staff!

WHS is a great school and sits in a great community. We just moved to the area, but our children felt welcome at the school from day one. Great sports programs, band and kids speak highly of their teachers thus far. If you prefer a small school setting, it doesn't get any better than WHS. Go Jackets...
