GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
Willard Elementary likes to bully children with special needs. They are aware of disabilities the child has but does the complete opposite when trying to "help" the child. They grab children and yell at them. Even those with PTSD which that behavior can make matters worse and the child's behavior worse. I would not recommend this school especially for special needs students

"The neigborhood is quite and very well kept. Its tucked away from the main road and surrounded by lots of large older trees. It's very peacefull; you can take the little ones walking to the nearby park. The neighbors are nice and they have large get togethers once every 3 months. You have Cooper Creek nearby; which has a large walking area, a few resteraunts, and in the summer time, they have activities every weekend at the lake. Not to far up the road is a grocery store, and new resturants. The crime rate in this area is very low to hardly anything. Its a great area to rasie kids."
