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 love Willis High School , so many opportunities within in this school such as our sports department is amazing. Our teachers do their best to insure safety , and best learning ability possible. I love choir , I have made many friends in my choir class and have enjoyed all the opportunities my teacher has made for us. But foremost the opportunities that we can achieve such as the medical field , I'm currently in a medical class and if I complete this year and pass my major test I will graduate with a CNA certification. Which is absolutely amazing as it helps me prepare for life after High School. The only thing I would like to see change would be the communication such as having a better communication from our administrators of very important dates versus letting us know right before about an important date or event is about to occur.

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.

I personally love attending Willis high, although there is plenty of room for improvement when it comes to setting and prioritizing certin boundaries and rules. The culture and school spirit here is a true demonstration of what an exceptional high school experience should be.

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...
