5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Averagewhile writitng this i have graduated a few years ago from this school and have attened this elementary school from first to eight grade. The assignments done at school truely helped prepare for high school becuase it helps being up reading levels. They can provide more support in the math section. The teachers are alright. They do well with providing consouler support and social emotinal learing and also help accomdating students (at least from what i've seen becuase I myself did not have accomdations.)what really gets me is the community of kids that go here. They are rude and disrespectful and are bullies. This can be observeded THROUGHOUT the grades starting as early as 4th. They sell and distrubt things kids cannot have till they are 18 .They bully people and harrasment happens often. This school will give your kid insecurities and can change their behavior. Children often model the behavior of those around them. If disruptive or aggressive behavior is normalized (which it is between the kids here) they can adopt similar patterns to fit in or protect themselves. so its no wonder they are turn aggresive becuase they are surrounded by such behavior for 40 hours a week. Do not send your kid unless you want thisOther Review6mo ago11 Reviews - St. William School
