James E Williams School

I have been with Williams for a while. And when my son was there the old principal was horrible she always went around things to get to the answer and never answer it she always made excuses for teachers. And now the new principle we have now is about the same as she is he makes excuses for the teachers but he's never around he's always on tiktok or somewhere where you don't post to be but you know Huntsville City Schools don't got enough people to take his place so they're going to let him do whatever. And these teachers some of them are good then we got the new ones that come in and try to teach their own way and I don't know they know how to teach colored students but Williams I guess no teachers want to work at William so they just get what they can get and it's sad Williams really need help hasn't been open long and is one of the worst schools in Huntsville so I will tell you if you are a very strong will it hurt parent and speak your mind don't go to Williams cuz that principal cannot or will not understand you. And now my daughter is in there if you are zones Williams run don't go there it's not worth it AGT is not even worth it either kids bully kids they can't handle kids they always try to make excuses and then they blame it on the parents and not all the parents and sometimes the teachers but when you can admit to something will you do it for.

This school has come a long way in just a few short years.The staff are working really hard to make this a safe and fun environment for the students.

If your child is in need of special resources due to a learning disability, I STRONGLY urge you to check out other school districts. My son is a third grader at WES and I have been going around and around with staff since August 24th 2021. His current teacher's communication so horrid that I frequently wonder how she has retained a job as a teacher. I have to beg for information, and even the responses I receive from her are only pieces of the answers that I request. It's absolutely ridiculous that this kind of unprofessionalism goes unchecked, and is even supported by the principal and other staff members. Bottom of the barrel education. I strongly advise others to stay away from WES, if possible.

Would definitely not recommend. The kids are bullies and very disrespectful and the teachers and administrators don’t care! My child has been bullied repeatedly and have been exposed to profanity, threats and violence on a daily basis with no obvious recourse from their staff. This will be our last year in this school district because we’re moving to Madison city. It’s obvious that the parents are not actively involved with their children and they are raising themselves. The academics are horrible and my child was incorrectly taught in math where the calculations that the teacher did were wrong! There is no value place on education and it’s obvious that there’s no passion behind what they do and they don’t care about the kids. One of the teachers even told me that their kids go to a different school bc they would never think about sending them here bc these kids are the worst! I would avoid this school at all costs!

I haven't had much experience at this school yet. My granddaughter was issued an iPad to start Kindergarten this year and hasn't been able to login in all week to attend online classes. Come to find out, the iPad she was issued was so old that it wouldn't support the software needed for her to do her classes. How does this happen? Weren't these things checked before they were issued? Now she is almost a week behind with her lessons. Not a good way to start off a new school year or as a Kindergartner.
