Bullying is not dealt with, when someone was bullying they did nothing. Dont send your kids here unless you wish for them to get depression.

As a recent and proud alumni of Williams, I assure you that this is the best middle school! Yes- there are conflicts that appear now and then, but at the end, a reasonable action is taken by the principal or any respective adults. In terms of teachers, I, truthfully, write that majority respect you and will always there for you no matter what! There will be some times when you receive those “mean” teachers. Just remember to stay calm and respect them and understand that we don’t see every aspect of everyone’s lives. Regardless, my experience with my educators had been an exceptional one. I recall a time when I needed help with a math problem, and my AVID teacher came to action right away. She had attempted to help me for a full class period, but time had ran out. As one would expect, she had stopped for the day, but this was not the case. My teacher had continuously worked on the math problem for three class periods straight and came to me with a solution. This demonstrates the value of each student to a teacher. I will never forget that day, ever! :)In terms of students, you will always find those behaved ones and those mischievous ones no matter the location. I would recommend that you just focus on schoolwork and ignore all the distractions and negativity around you. You will always have (old & new) friends to create those previous moments with, nevertheless.Speaking of homework, the work here is extremely rigorous and you do get piles of them. But, if you have proper organization & time-management skills, this should not be so bad. Always keep a planner and use free periods to complete your work.Other than that, this school is amazing!! I would recommend any student to come here. You will feel welcomed at all points and I assure that you will not regret being a student here.

My son has a learning disability and we wanted a more structured environment for him since he is very high functioning. I feel like this schoolProvides that. My son often lacks and he has had tremendous help and motivation with some amazing teachers. What I also find, in my experience is the empathy, connection with the parents and professionalism is often lacking. The guidance counselor does not respond professionally and the young lady who answers the phone in the front office does not have phone etiquette in the least. The principal and AP allow this behavior and it almost seems like they take your concerns personal. Today the guidance counselor advised me that she in fact does. There is much deflection and their go to is “take a message”. Disappointing when you are a parent.

The school is one of the best schools. Most of the teachers are great, but there are some that just get on your nerve. Most the time the homework is all right, maybe and hour or two, but every week, you will get that one assignment that makes no sense at all. There are some really nice people there that are good to be friends with, but bullying is a problem and they don’t always deal with it right away. I would recommend this school to my friends, because I love this school and is amazing to learn at cause they challenge you to bring at the best of your abilities.

It’s a school with extremes, there’s a lot of very smart and good kids over there but there’s also a lot of bad and slightly violent kids over there. Most teachers are dedicated to helping you do above and beyond.
