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

"there aren't really any neighborhood events around here. which is part of the appeal. The people around here know each other and are friendly enough no one would hesitate to ask the neighbor for a cup of sugar, but for the most part everyone lives their own lives and aren't all in each other's business.
