My daughter went to this school from Pre kindergarten to 1st grade. Teachers in all grades were super awesome comparing to the high rated schools she is in now.

My youngest started school last year and I was nervous. The teacher and aide were fantastic! Couldn't have asked for a better first year for my child. Every time I was at the school it always seemed very positive.

Numerous times my child was put on the wrong bus. Every parents nightmare. Teachers don't care about children's well being. My child was being picked on and I told my child to inform the teachers instead of resulting to violence. Teacher told my child to stop being a taddel tell. Absolutely horrible school.

BM Williams has a high faculty retention rate and their caring for the students shows. We have had two children attend and both have scored very high on their Stanford 10s/ SOL's. For those that judge a book by it's cover- you are missing the content inside.

I absolutely love this school, my daughter attends this school. When she started she was very shy and timid. The teachers are very understanding, they go above and beyond to ensure that your child gets the proper tools and create a fun learning environment. The teachers and staff are very compassionate and have the same concerns for the children as if they are their parents. I love how they involve different techniques to help kids learn and pick up on things that may seem hard to them at first. They keep parents up to date and I love that as well.

Two of my children attend B.M. Williams. We love this school. My son is in the pre-school program, he has a speech delaye. Our son went to school with no verbal communication. His vocabulary has improved tremendously! Our daughter, she is in kindergarden. Her teachers are great! And our daughter is ABOVE reading level! B.M. Williams has family nights, and parents seem to really care about their children's education. B.M. Williams is great school for your little ones!

My oldest went to this school and I currently have one child attending this school (2nd year) with another child to start here the next school year. The staff I have come across is great(office, p.e, librarian, some teachers, etc). The security up front is attentive to who walks in the school. You must have your ID ready in order to go beyond his desk. Photo is taken, sticker must be worn while on grounds. The school itself is clean. The nurse is ok. She does what she is suppose to do but beyond that don't expect a convo as she is busy with children. My kids have had come across small issues which were quickly resolved, by who was then the Assistant Principle, Mr Moyer. He is now the principle of the school. There is one teacher my kid has had that I question how attentive she is of the students. Another teacher of my other child no longer at this school wasn't great at communication. Not all teachers are going to be great, but that doesn't take away from the school and it really depends on who your child gets for the school year. One star deduction for the lack of complete instructions for majority of homework. That seems to be common every school year and its the printed work.

My son attended this school for half of his first grade year and all of second grade. Looking back we were not happy. His first grade teacher was truly awful. We got to the point where we were ready to bring him home but decided to try and stick it out. She shouted at the children, used harsh language, and acted as though it was truly below her to be where she was. Second grade was much better. It is ONLY because a what a wonderful teacher he had that I will give them the 3 stars. Communication improved drastically and our son's learning escalated tremendously. I am very hesitant to put my daughter at this school due to the first grade experience and am considering other options. There were so many ways they could have improved things!

I went to B.M. Williams Primary in the First grade. Im a 9th GRader now and I have to say, the things I learned while going to that school help me build my foundation to becoming a great student. I loved all the teachers and pricipals. Everyone was great and helpful,.

When my son was to start 2nd grade I was so worried with it being his first time in a public school. He had been in Christian private schools pre-k through 1st grade. But this school was phenomonal. The teachers were great the staff was helpful and the guidance counselor was outstanding. He was very happy and that made me happy. His teacher kept be abreast of all he was doing and where I needed to focus on more with him at home. I was truly satisfied and at peace. This is a great school.

My son, who is an up and coming 8th grader, is a former student of BMW and I believe that the educational foundation he got from this wonderful school is the reason he has excelled the way he has! Thanks to the wonderful teachers and Mr. Mills, who by the way is the principal in which ALL other principals will FOREVER be compared to!! We loved this school and will never forget what they've done for us!--Renee Burnidge
