I love the staff at this school. Everyone is kind and caring and seems to really want what's best for the kids. They have a counselling program that actively helps kids with issues and learning disabilities and I really appreciate that. My daughter's teacher challenges her when she gets ahead instead of letting her be bored on the side. I think this is a good school.

I keep my daughter and son here even though I have to drive them because its out of our school zone. They have been there 3 years and all 3 have been amazing. Great teachers who truly care. Great mix of younger teachers who are striving to be great and seasoned teachers to help guide them to greatness. Very diverse and amazing in all aspects. I feel this school will teach my children to be accepting of all race and age.

I am completely taken back by this school if someone chooses to call it that and am desperately looking for a better one for my children to go to whether I must drive them miles to it everyday or not. My childs education is important to me and to top it off his special needs make it difficult for him in school so finding people that know how to work with him has been trying. We moved here from North Dakota/ Minnesota area and I truly miss the school district back there. :(

I am not at all pleased with Willard. My son has attended since K and is now in the 5th grade. Each year has been a struggle with getting concerns addressed. My son's writting skills are still very poor and require a lot of at home work. The school has continued to not meet standards for the WASL. My son, despite this, scores above standard. Futhermore, many issues are not addressed professionally. Issues have been discussed with my son that were soley parent to school and did not need him to be involved. I have been very displeased with the proffesionalizm of the staff. I will not go into details since my son is still attending this school. I know that in giving details it will be clear who the student is and I do not trust the staff to treat him well if they read this review.
