The funding for the school is kinda iffy, they put more money into their mascots and unnecessary trips.Bullying, drug use, and violence are a huge issue here.

Both our children have graduated from Willard High School. They were both extremely well prepared for very challenging university curriculum and were able to graduate with their degrees in 4 years. There are excellent opportunities for AP and Dual Credit classes, a variety of co-curricular clubs, and many athletic teams. My children had excellent relationships with the teachers...the staff is always extremely professional and helpful. This is an excellent school with a family atmosphere.

I cannot say enough good things about Willard Orchard Hills! They have made such a personal investment in my daughter's development. She has made so much progress due to them always having open communication with me as her parent. The kids in her class stepped in as peers and have made my girl feel so included. They have kept her IEP flexible throughout the year in order to support her as much or as little as she needs at the time. I have heard many sad stories about special needs kiddos getting lost in the cracks or parents having to fight to get what they need. Thankfully...this couldn't be farther from our experience. I am forever grateful for them taking the time to get to know her and helping her be excited about challenging herself. Love this school and it's teachers so much! The office staff is so kind and helpful too!
