This school is amazing! A great environment for any child.

There any only 5-6 teachers who genuinely care about your learning, and the others just make class that extra bit more boring. Classes are a mess and get rowdy within minutes and teachers to little to nothing to quiet the other students down, it once got so bad that a teacher had a mental breakdown in front of the class and had to leave. also the teachers will be very unorganised and will show up to class 4-10 minutes late. the only upsides were the freedom around subjects and the surrounding area. (this was for the Bayview campus only as I left at the start of year 10)

The staff at the Bayview Campus are very helpful, inclusive and nice! They will assist you with most of your problems!

My child was bullied mercilessly, coming home on numerous occasions having been beat up. When the staff was informed I was told there wasn’t anything they can do.

I think that this school is okay . The students swear and you do see bullying at this school. Some of the teachers here have no idea what they are talking about, but some are very good. It is a great school if you are into Marine bIology. It is quite a small school and have a lot of students for it's size, and the halls are very messy. I it is a good school, but make sure that your child is learning and is safe.

dead set the students are such drop kicks and are so feral and rude. The teachers set an amazing example for the students by insuring bullying happens on a daily basis and don't do anything about it Most students are either doing or selling drugs and the police have been called multiple times and students have been arrested. I feel like the school is so over rated and would never send my children here. There are snakes in the yard ( students and animals) that create an unsafe learning environment. I highly recommend Bayside or anywhere else. The teachers at the bayveiw campus are useless, if your child struggles with learning or have a hard time don't rely on the teachers to help because they just give up on the students and show no commitment.

The fourth graders are more mature than the majority of the juniors in this high school, it's utterly insane.
(This is the same guy who wrote the long review, if you're wondering. It's only been a couple months of my Junior year, and I'm still having mixed feelings.)

By Student - 25 May 2017, Rate: poor

I have a few concerns about this school; Note that I'm only in the Class of 2019(This means that I'm currently going into my Junior year), so please bare me here.
First of all, I often feel that WHS doesn't offer enough challenges for me. Throughout my freshman year, and up to the third marking period of my sophomore year, I have received no grade below an 83, meaning that I have been accounted for Honor Roll six times. I don't see myself as one of the smartest students in this school, since I am struggling with the fact of receiving very little work. Not too many students would agree, but this is all opinion based for a review, is it?
That thought brings me to my next concern... Disciplinary rules need to be acknowledged, and used properly. It's not the dress code that I am talking about; it is simply the majority of peers that lack to follow any rules of the agenda. A prime example is the new cellphone policy the administration has announced in the year of 2016; they have announced that they would be giving 3/7s every time any faculty staff member sees a student with their phone in the hallways, or the classroom without giving permission to do so. How many phones have I've counted? Numerous; and how many 3/7s, that I know of, have been given out by the staff members? Approximately, a few. This example can show that discipline needs some kind of recognition, and small improvement.
Why are these kids so careless, to me? Third concern; some may think it’s “normal” for students to act in such childish, ignorant ways. I quote, normal, because some actions make me feel very uncomfortable, as well as a couple of other students are when they are in a middle of all of the drama going on. Sure, it may be based off of heredity, but are they really this loud every day? I quoted the word “normal”, you see, because of some staff members finding this as a common act. Some days, I may even get severe headaches from all of the noise; My teachers are nice and all, but some just can’t control the volume of my peers, which makes me feel bad, and I just want to help(However, since I am just a mere student, too, I cannot help because shouting over them would mean I’m just as loud.). Also, I have deep thoughts that I always feel that someone, possibly akin to me, is being talked about behind their backs; this thought alone just wants me to quit school, and forget college. Hence, they can’t possibly get my own gender right, and I know they are doing it just to make fun of me(I honestly look like every other boy, so why would it be so hard to even acknowledge that I am actually a guy, too?). Or… Maybe I’m the one with problems, after all?
Sorry for getting a bit deep there, so let’s move on, shall we? My fourth concern is the hallways. As a middle schooler, you may expect to think that the hallways seem to be larger than you think they are, but as you get there… The hallways aren’t exactly that ideal size. As being claustrophobic, I am unable to quickly get through the hallways because of the group of other students that block the whole one side of the hallway, and leave a huge gap in front of them. As much as I hate being late to class, I also detest the fact that my next classes are usually on the other side of the school, and while academics not being hard enough, it’s just too hard to be able to get on time to class. (Oh yay, this reason is another anxiety forcer!)
And that concludes it all to my final concern… The lunches. Honestly, I do not have a lunch period since more than half the year of 10th grade, and I could frankly care less. There isn’t much of a variety of food there, knowing me, I prefer simple foods with cheese for ingredients. I did enjoy the mozzarella sticks, and the grilled cheese, but they hardly have those products, anymore, and just replace them with spicy foods that my taste buds cannot handle. I’m just tired of eating peanut butter and jelly everyday…
Overall, my (almost)first two years in this high school were like a roller coaster that kept going downwards. At least it’s not as horrible as my middle school years… (And believe me, let’s refrain from going at that point. I am terribly sorry if my review seems to be long… As an individual that seems to be anti-social, I find it quite easier for me to express myself with writing, rather than thinking what words to say out loud. I may not be the ideal type of student to type such a review, yet I hope that at least some understand this long-lasting opinion that keeps running around in my head.
I honestly can't wait to graduate, or, just to get out of here. (One more thing... On a positive note, the clubs here are enjoyable; I wish I could do more for the clubs that I'm currently in.)

i dont know much about this school but i hope to accept the offer to go to williamstown next year in 2017

I am a student at the Pasco street campus and i love this school. There are some great teachers who give kids the opportunities they need to excel. I was also part of the girls program in year 7-9 and I've made some life long friends because of it, I am a bit disappointed that there is only one girls only class instead of two this year. Top notch school especially if you're interested in marine biology.

I was walking my kids to primary school when there was a group of kids (7) wearing the Williamstown High School inform and they were swearing and using very foul language at each other it seemed like the large group of them were bullying one of the other students I had my young daughter and had to cross into the other side of the road to avoid these students and even though they saw me and my young child it was like they didn't care at all and had no regard. Would seriously think twice about sending my child to this school.

I see the students hang around the train station causing trouble and swearing and behaving very poorly during school hours or lunch time
I don't know what the teachers are doing and where supervision is
