This school has put a lot of time and effort into building a sense of belonging and community for their students. Teachers are engaged and leaders are making positive changes daily!

This school has been an absolute nightmare for my 7th grader. Some of the cllassrooms are out of control, the teachers literally get verbally abused and do absolutely nothing. My child got bullied daily and it was reported and they didn't do a thing. Call after call, emails went unanswered. Finally my husband and I should up at the school only to get the runaround and a 8th grade administrator talking to us. They don't care about your child's safety, nor do they follow 504 plans properly. The racist comments and the favoritism is real in this school. When kids are having to go to school with kids wearing ankle monitors, what else would you expect. Find another school for your child.

A sido una bendición esta escuela para mis dos hijos, en especial para uno de ellos que esta dentro del espectro autista y su maestra Speers es realmente maravillosa, jamás había encontrado a un maestro con tanto conocimiento para tratar a este tipo de personas que están fuera del grupo de neuro tipos. La directora Maite siempre dispuesta en colaborar, orientar y ayudarnos en absolutamente todo lo que a la educación de nuestros dos hijos se trata. Estamos muy agradecidos

Hopefully your child is never violently and racially assaulted while attending this school like mine was. The school district, the principal, and the police will be of no help in the matter. You will be met with racial bias and given then run around. The principal and the school district do their best to sweep it under the rug to maintain their reputation. The teachers are excellent, but the students are violent and out of control. Multiple threats of gun violence, weapons in the classroom, acts of arsony, drugs are rampant, multiple students claiming affiliation to gangs. Then they don't even inform you most of the time about incidents!! Some of my child's former teachers have quit to go teach in different areas and I have heard their stories as well as other parents stories!! Beware!!!

Overall great schools The Administration has no care in the world about your child or their safety (front office staff) They are not nice at all you would expect such nice school to have a welcoming environment and nicer people. Complete opposite! it's disgusting I hope my child never has to interact with them directly. They need a front office staff that actually love their jobs it's a complete turn off walking in the front office. Everyone I mean EVERYONE in the front office looks at you like your annoying them. The teachers and other staff has been good ,overall great school.

Teachers do as best of job as they can. Administration is over controlling and doesn't actually care about students doing their work to pass. Teachers are basically forced to give students passing grades even though many should be failing. The principal is extremely lazy and pawns all of his work off onto others. The Vice Principals are extremely negative and are not supportive of teachers.

Ce willams is a good school! The teacher will stay after school to help your child if needed help and would stay in class on their lunch break to help a student if needed! Hey every school have their problem! But also c.e had lots of good clubs to choose from, also have cool fun dances , green zone celebrations and other cool things for your kids. As we say ohana means family and nobody gets left behind !

I am disgusted with the new school principal. He does not seem to want to handle situations himself he does try to pass them onto other staff. There is a serious bully issue here but the principal and staff brush it under the rug. Most of the students are disrespectful to the teachers. Teachers so worried about passing state tests, I was satisfied with the shool last year, but since this new principal has taken over things are going down hill quickly. The teachers are so awesome and go out of their way to help your child succeed. I would not recommend this school for any parent, I would recommend St. Andrews Middle school, the principal is excellent and the studnet are wonderful, along with the teachers and staff.

I attended C.E Williams Middle school in 6th grade and 7th grade and I can say that 7th grade was possibly the most agony filled mental torturous year of my life. And not because of home life it was because of my school life there. Apparently some students who are 7th grade teacher's pets are allowed to get away with cursing in math class. Discipline is not fairly enforced. The principal can't control the school and never has time to talk to students who really need her help. School secretaries in the office are extremely rude. Students who are continuously bullied are told to "just ignore it." I am intellectually talented in Creative writing and my 7th grade ELA teacher constantly patronized me making me feel belittled and had no interest in seeing any of my poetry or non fictional writing pieces. The music teacher is VERY nosy and childish. He tries to impress students by stooping to the level of childishly arguing with playful name calling witch is NOT what a teacher should be encouraging. Many teachers show no interest on helping students excel in learning. I hated this place. If you want a strong learning environment that cares about your child this is NOT the school for you.

This school has really gone down hill over the years. My youngest son attended C.E williams this year as a 6th grader this year in 2011-2012. Bullying is a huge problem at this school. However, my oldest son attended CEW in 2007-2008 and there was a strong principal who had everything more under control and my oldest son had no problems. This year, my child felt bullied and as though he was an outcast. My son came home one day telling me thatdrugs were being smoked in the bathroom and then a few weeks later he came home tellingme that he saw an8th grader in the bathroom asking him if he wanted some alcohol that was in a non see through bottle. My son also told me a lot that he would over hear teachers gossiping about other students, and when I would walk in the school I would feel very unwelcome. But in the past I used to be very involved with school events and field trips. He was constantly bullied and I called the school many times and bullying was still occurring. The school nurse was very rude to me one day when I was taking in his ADHD medicine. His guidance counselor was very involved a little too involved actually. She was very persistent. I'm disappointed with this school.
