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.

Willits Charter School has a good student culture, and a great rainbow of diversity. Self motivated students do well here. Friday Academy was something I looked forward to every week. While I was there I took Yoga, Ceramics, Gardening and more.

The traffic officer gave more students tickets than speeders. There were also a lot of fights.
