We relocated to the area when my son was going into the fifth grade. The principal was amazing! She gave us a tour of the building and welcomed us with open arms. She even contacted parents of children that would be in my son's class so he could meet them prior to the fist day of school. The entire staff and student body was wonderful and welcomed my son as if he had been there since kindergarten. They made the adjustment to a new area so easy. We LOVE Willowbrook School!
