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.

Overall it was a great school and overall a great environment (minus the fights) but some teachers were a bit rude with first impressions. My counselor being one of them where she never had time for me ( I emailed her once and she accused me on spamming her with emails) and she never cared for me like she did for her other students. Just like another teacher when I asked if she could help me with my transcript and she yelled at me saying that I couldn't skip the line that I had to wait just like very one else which I didnt ask to skip the line all I asked for is help? Anyways, other than that the school was great!!

When I first arrived at Willis High School my freshman year it was definitely a different experience compared to middle school. The energy was more vibrant and college preparation was given to me from my very first college level class.

Positive attributes include opportunity to take college credit classes. I take all Honors classes with all A's, so the teaching abilities are great. Negatives the hallways are crowded and sometimes hard to get to the next class period especially if it is in another building.

We initially had some concerns about this district due to the ratings. Our kids started attending Willis High School in 2019 and they LOVE IT! We moved from a district that was very highly rated on Great Schools (9) and our kids have just as many if not more opportunities here at Willis. The teacher...
