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.

Overall, my experience with with Wills Point High School so far (this is my last year,) has been positive. I joined dual credit, which my school partners with SFA to achieve, all my teachers except one were amazing. A few things I would like to see change is handling lower class better, for example, the Freshman this year are absolutely awful and there are few punishments to try and fix that.

small school, teachers and staff have no respect for students and since covid hit it's all went down. Students being thought political views, most strict dress code for a texan school. I highly vote against WPISD

Wills Point High School teachers are interactive and creative in their teaching. They are easy to communicate with and they have a fair amount of knowledge to answer any question that is asked. The teachers are interested in applying their subjects to other subjects and areas of the students life as a way to engage the students in the lesson. All teachers and staff at Wills Point High School want every student to be successful after high school. They provide the support and guidance needed for any student going down any path.

There is a tradition of pride at Wills Point HS. They have an excellent fine arts program, with a state ranked marching band. The CTE program is outstanding, with new programs added each year.
