I graduated from this school in 2009, after moving from a school in Wisconsin. I found that this school was horrible! Those who were in my classes couldn't even spell correctly. I could tell the student who posted on March 8, 2010 was a graduate from Willcox because of their lack of grammer, let alone all the misspelled words. I find this school to be full of teen-pregnancies, drugs, and teenage violence. The drop out rate of this school is way above average. The school does not even prepare a student for the future, let alone for days after graduation.
I agree with the last student.PROS: Small classes. There are also some teachers that will go out of their way to help out their students, double-credit courses affiliated with cochise college. CONS:The academics aren't as great as they could be,and some of the teachers don't even teach what they majored in.The cafeteria food is also not the very best. The school is high in teen pregnancies,drugs and crime(a cop even works at the campus full time). The school may be great in extra-curriculars such as FFA and football,but it's extremely clique-y.
i dont mean to say that the school is bad or that you child should not go to willcox high they have good teachers and grate sports but its not allways about the teachers or the sports somtimes it is the kids that can make a school bad willcox high is highly involved with drugs, fights distuction of property the list can go on thier are some really bad kids i attend at this school and i see the stuff that can go on out side the class room
I feel that the willcox high school ranks high in their extracurricular activities, such as football and the Ag program. the Ag program at this school is the best in the state and has even earned its gold rating at the national level. this program is great for the kids since they learn leadership, work ethics, how to work on a team and the importance of community. The organization is run by a team of actual high school student, so the chapter is literally by the members, of the members and for the members. These students have opportunities to explore careers in the agricultural industry, and even develop skills needed for these careers and compete in competitions that develop these further.The agriscience program has the best equipment available to the students, including top quality lap tops used by the students to keep record books and find information online.
Willcox High School has a great selection of academic programs. They're sports programs are great shown by the outstanding ranking they have earned. They also have music and art class availability.
One of the best small schools I've seen. Teachers are strict but still down to Earth (although some still need to get there). I would recommend this school for anyone livng in the area.
