The teachers in this school really enjoy working with the children. I really miss them and the school. Mrs. Pearson,Martinez,Caballero,Cortez,Rosen,Zamarippa are one of the best teachers in the school. They really make a difference. My children still think about them and miss them. Awesome school.

I love this school. We are a low income, inner-city school with about 40% of our students being English Language Learners and 10% are students with special needs. Our scores reflect those challenges. What scores don't reflect is that our kids are loved. There are extraordinary teachers at Santa Ana High School. We put relationships first. Our kids know everyday that they are safe, they are cared for and they are loved. We send kids to Stanford, Harvard, UCLA, USC, Berkeley--every year, but we also work miracles with the kids that are struggling in every conceivable way to find their talent, believe in their worth and find a way to be successful--which doesn't always come from a four-year university for all kids. I'm not just saying this because I teach there, I'm saying it because it's true and I am honored and humbled to be a part of this school every damn day.

Its a mid school. The academic arts are good. The teachers are alright. The area isn't the best. The school itself needs a reset. Too many fights and violence happens every week at willard. There will always be someone vaping or selling vapes/substances in the bathroom. Too much beef and drama happens at this and all the middle schools. More security is needed rather than just a few 3-5 security guards. Mostly everyone that attends willard dresses in a gang way, baggy pants, shirts, beanies you get it, there needs to be better dress code policies in place. And have i not mention, students are always willing to talk back in cause trouble towards teachers and security. They need a good principle that can actually start taking action against this behavior and talk to parents on how to discipline their son/daughter correctly.
