Facilities
WILLIAMSBURG JUNIOR/SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL (7th-12th grade)
Williamsburg Jr/Sr High School was constructed in 1957 with five major additions completed in 1962, 1966, 1970, 2002, and 2012. Over the past 15 years, this facility has experienced numerous updates and new construction. The most recent updates include, a new science wing, Tornado Safe Shelter, remodeled library, auditorium, Family Consumer Science classrooms, and the front/administrative office area. In the fall of 2017, a new competitive gymnasium was added on to the Jr/Sr High School. The building presently has an approximate enrollment of 524 students in grades 7-12.
Student Enrollment
The 2019-20 enrollment of the district is 1063 resident students. Williamsburg has been fortunate as its student population has remained steady over the past years. The open enrollment option allowing parents to send their children to our district has added 70 students to the Williamsburg Enrollment. Indications are that the open enrollment trend into Williamsburg will continue and possibly increase in succeeding years.
Faculty
The Williamsburg Community School District employs 101 administrators, teachers, including Title I, English Language Learners, Special Education, and Talented and Gifted. Given the number of students within the district, students experience a favorable student to teacher ratio. The school district also provides an alternative school, and students can also attend Kirkwood Community College for PSEO and college credit.
