Have had my kids in this school for last almost 5 school years now. My scores would have all been 1 Fully disagree due to this school and district treating my student at a dollar sign and that is it. They see that one of my student who is special needs has issues with a few boys on campus and yet even with a therapist saying her mental and physical health is at risk they deni us a Placement request to a total different district. They said the law says the issues at hand says they have to deni us the placement request. It has been fighting tooth an nail for proper IEP set up for one of our children. Our 2nd child is doing ok. There is a few teachers and vice principal which have lost one of good vice principals and a good teacher this year, but still a few good ones that truly care and want what is actually what is in the best interest of the student, being good role models, advocates, and mentors. Also the gates up and police on campus is a plus for some safety, but my daughter has been harrassed, threatened, put down, cornered, isolated, bullied since after covid and back to in campus all year up to currwnt date. Her anxiety, self isolation, depression, weight loss all are so bad that don't see how a school and district "Bethel School District" of West Eugene, Oregon could honestly only care about the dollars that follow the student and keep her here and through this and not grant a placement request to a fresh and safer request. I wish I had the money to move cause I would in a heart beat. Truly sad

The teachers are overworked as with all public teachers I feel safe at this school and in the surrounding community knowing they have a Eugene Police officer there (resource officer) Officer Tester is a person any kid can go to in need to talk to someone, in need of directing info for help in the class room, or if you need a snack lol! Don’t hesitate to ask her any questions that you may have because of her uniform! Bethel school district is so lucky to have her as their resource officer and my hat goes off to officer Tester! Thank you for your service and thank you for keeping Willamette High School, the surrounding schools and the community safe! You are appreciated!

Great teachers. Tremendous sense of community. Massive number of electives and educational pathways. It's a school with something for everyone. Also, the surrounding neighborhoods have improved significantly throughout the last five years or so.

The staff are caring and welcoming. The teachers are incredibly supportive and qualified. The principals seem really chill. There’s way more offered at this school than any other in the Eugene/Springfield area. It’s a great school.

I felt that I had a comprehensive education at this school, and while it was lacking in some areas, particularly in the arts department, I would attribute this to lack of funding rather than ineptitude on the school's part. I had great teachers and I felt prepared for college.

In my opinion one of the best schools for government and philosophy courses offered to Junior and Senior classes. In addition to these two outstanding intellectual courses, this school offers incredible trade and engeneering programs to its students. This school definately prepares its students for academia and caters to its pupils a wide variety of electives so that students may procede into areas of knowledge that they enjoy.

Huge selection of electives and great college courses for the students. Very involved counselors and principals.
