"Willard is more than a school it's a community of lifelong learners! We have loved the experience that our two children have had in this community. In kindergarten, both of our children were exposed not only to rigorous basics (number stories, reading and writing), but also to the context around their new education (field trips, poetry, practical math and science). While both of our daughters came into kindergarten with early reading skills, even children who had limited exposure to the alphabet came away with both the skillset and the love of reading. Our oldest daughter is now in 2nd grade and the learning and discovery process just continues to grow with AMAZING teachers who care about the whole child. The weaving of PTA events to the arts, afterschool programs to classroom learnings, and community events with the fabric of the school are no doubt why Willard is an A+ school!"

"Majority of teachers are good to very good-only about 3 to avoid. a great school and community spirit w/ lots of activities and ways to make friends. Great music program and 4th and 5th grade school play. Battle of the Books, Junior great books, young authors, separate ability based math at upper grades. New playgrounds sports teams everyone plays for 3rd grade and up. After school child care just ok."
