GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

To be honest the school system is very confusing... most of the kids that go to Willow Springs are in normal education. But around 20-30% of all students are in AAP ( Advanced academic program ) which is hard to get into, I personally got luck and didn't have to to take the test in 3rd grade to figure out if I would get into AAP. Instead I am taking AAP after I was in AAP in my old county (which was easier to get into). I feel like if there were a separation of schools or building from all AAP and GEN-Ed kids there would be more peace. Otherwise the teachers are nice they give equal opportunities to people of different origins. The building is fairly made yet the roof is a little low, 6th graders who are in AAP are separated from the rest of the school and put in trailers. Over all willow springs has been a wonderful experience and if you don't believe the things I just said I are true I will assure you that I am not a parent, I am an actual student going to middle school in 4 months.

A great elementary school should have amazing teachers, fun activities, and a safe and clean environment. I would say that Willow Springs has all of these things! The teachers are kind, knowledgeable, and always there to help. The students do fun projects and play games that make learning exciting....
