We loved Willowbend. I have one child who is very advanced, was in gifted program at local public. I have another child who was in the gifted program, but slacks somewhat sometimes. The school was great for both of them. I think this is a school that adapts itself for each individual child. I loved the staff. The kids loved the school. They learned a lot.

I am a junior in high school at Willow Bend Academy. I came to WBA because I needed to escape the classic 8 hour school day and hour an a half classes. And as soon as I found WBA, I did! The teachers are ACTUALLY invested into helping me learn and fully understand the material. They genuinely care about my education. I can honestly say now that I enjoy school now because of WBA. And that is a phrase I never thought I would say! I may move at my own pace, which allows me to get more work done in 4 hours, than I would in 8 hours of traditional school. My parents weren't to jazzed, at first, about me only being in school for 4 hours a day. Naturally, it seems kind of different. But now my parents are thrilled that we have made this change because of the progress and achievements I have accomplished! All in all, WBA is a must for any student who cant function at his/her capacity because of public and private schools unwillingness to alter their class structure or style for the student. I highly reccomend the WBA change. I was not asked to write this review, I am just sincerely thankful to WBA for the changes that they have helped me to make.

I don't have the vocabulary to truly express my gratitude to all of the staff and teachers for the love and support they've given my boys and the peace they've given me. I can breathe deep and relax, knowing my boys are guided by the most caring and invested staff and teachers I've ever seen. God bless all of you at Willow Bend!

Willow Bend Academy is an outstanding school. The curriculum instills independence and determination. Its an awesome school for anyone looking to graduate early or for anyone looking to find better quality work and attention. The student teacher ratio is awesome and is a great environment for anyone wanting to meet their educational goals.

This a "great school". Students receive much individual teaching with curriculum made to fit the student. (Most schools require the student to fit the curriculum whether it's too easy or too difficult.) Graduates who have gone to college have been successful and have become teachers, business managers and other professional occupations. Others have developed successful careers such as business, law enforcement and the military.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.

Oops! We currently do not have any student information for this school. We rely on the state Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and in some cases school administrators such as registrars and principals for this data.
