This school does nothing about children being bullied. If your child is white they won’t care that they don’t feel safe coming to school or the fact that they are being bullied and harassed by the other students.

The teachers and admin that I have dealt with at this school are awful. They only focus on discipline and have not offered academic support all year despite the fact that I, as the parent, asked for my student to be moved into a different classroom, asked for my student to receive remedial learning, ad he is not at grade level. They don’t care. They have let him fall further and further behind and only pay attention to him when he’s in trouble. The principal is not fair to the students and often only one child is punished regardless whether two or more were involved. The teachers just move the students to the next grade, even when they aren’t academically ready. Never had any of this trouble at our previous school. I wish I never would have enrolled at Williams. I’ve talked to so many other parents who say the same things. Don’t make your child go here if you don’t have to!

The teachers and staff are very easy to talk to. I have gone there many times over the last couple years with questions or concerns and each time received excellent response. They listened and helped alleviate my concernes/or answered any questions I had. My son adores going there!

If I could give the school 0 Stars I would. We are a clean family and a clean neighborhood and my daughter came home with head lice six different times and less than half of the school year. Despite multiple times of going to the school, all of this continued, so hundreds of dollars down the drain plus I had to enroll her and a different School. Even after complaining and bring it to their attention, nothing was done to fix the problem

This is an excellent school, the principal is one of the nicest people I have ever met and the teachers are wonderful. All of my children love attending school here.

The PTA is horrible they set bad examples for the children. The Principal is not a strong leader. Its a school thats set on mediocrity and fails at that too. They dont focus on the kids unless they are in trouble.
