Williamsburg High School

I graduated from Williamsburg High School and now my 4 children attend the school. Two are in the high school and two are in the elementary. I have found that the Administration is very involved with the students and strives to bring innovative and exciting programs to the district. I have also been impressed with the quality of the teaching staff and their compassion for not only my children but all students. My oldest daughter is graduating this year and she is very prepared to start her college career.

My two children went to school at Williamsburg for two years. The best thing about it was the small size. It was easier for the kids to make friends and feel a sense of belonging. On the flip side of this, the teachers were average, at best. The teachers as well as administrative staff seemed to place too much importance on atheletics. If your child didn't participate, they often ignored.

We moved into the Burg School District in 2004 from CNE and could not be happier with the education our son is receiving. Coming from a small school district myself, it is comforting to know that these kids are receiving more personalized guidance as I received years ago. Kudos to the Burg Administration.

Hello, I am a student at williamsburg high school. For the past5 yrs this school has made my life bad. I think williamsburg school should teach teens some disapline instead of letting them do whatever they wish. I feel as if the teachers at this school could care less about if the students learn what they are teaching. Also when you need help or you dont understand what the teachers are teaching they dont help you they just move on to the next thing rather you learn it or not.

My son transferred out of Williamsburg High School as soon as a neighboring school offered open enrollment, and my daughter transferred out this year, the beginning of her freshman year. We feel Williamsburg High School is of poor quality. It was always a fight to get anything improved. The availability of extracurriculars is very limited, due to both small school size and lack of funding. They hire who they can afford and have a high employee turnover rate.

I am a former Graduate of Williamsburg High school and I believe this school is ran very poorly. While attending school at Williamsburg I recieved poor grades, poor Learning behaviors, unprepared teachers, and I also noticed teachers that have the education and patience to teach elementary students are teaching high school students. I am currently a student attending college and I have A's and B's which I have not had for the past 5 yrs of my high school education. I believe Williamsburg High School is to focused on what goes on physically and not focused enough on the education being taught. The school reminds me of a prison. Thank you for your time.
