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.

The Willits Charter School is a very accepting environment of any and all individuals that join its community. Many of the teachers genuinely care and advocate for the students on a daily basis, the schoolwork is exception and meets state requirements (as far as I'm made aware), and a lot of opportunity is in store.

Great atmosphere. They really care about my children. The school is open to parent input. All students are encouraged to go to college.

Some teachers are great! Others tell students to get abortions, give minors alcohol, etc. It's very hit or miss.

Just read a very negative review of Willits Charter (the first poor review ever). The person who wrote this review obviously has a personal issue with the administration. The student body as a whole is respectful and kind with a few exceptions of disrespect as happens with every school. Willits Char...
