Couldn’t have been better. Great prep for college. College admissions officers look favorably upon students who are successful at Williams. Good acceptance rates at top universities.
Posted by a parent on 5/23/2020Walter Williams High School teachers are unconcern about children who have special educational needs and the school really is not doing anything about the gang activity at this school. There are many children who are being bullied and no matter how much the parents complain nothing is being done unt
Posted by a parent on 2/5/2014I am a sophomore at Williams and while it may be an average school, that is all it is. There are no exceptional programs, no different AP classes. Many teachers don't adequately know their material, and because of that, many students are not taught well. Most students are willing to learn, but there
Posted by a student on 10/2/2011I went here for the first 2 years of my high school study before going to NCSSM. If you are smart than the school is the best around because of the opportunities available and the teachers. There are many AP classes and the best teachers usually teach them. If not, the quality of education is not ve
Posted by a student on 6/25/2011I worked with one of the teacher's during the 2008/2009 school year and Williams to be a good school that is what you make of it. Most of the students were good kids who came in ready to work. Many of the teachers I spoke with and observed were dedicated individuals. I believe with greater parental

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSo far it’s been a terrible horrible school!!! I honestly regret enrolling my child in this school. It’s so bad that we’re looking for another place to move to, even though we love the area and our current home. If you can take your child to another school i would do it.Parent Review8y ago - Harvey R Newlin Elementary

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter is a rising 2nd grader and has attended Smith since kindergarten. There is palpable commitment from the faculty for students to succeed. The principal and vice principal know the children by name and make them feel like part of a big family. Smith is a great school and we are thankful that our dtr is flourishing there.Parent Review8y ago - Burlington Christian Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy family attended BCA for 6 years. In the beginning, we had a positive experience. The last 2 years were extremely disappointing...especially middle school. Their is zero oversight or discipline. My child was exposed to porn on multiple occasions. Phones should not be allowed - period. I spoke with the principal and after school director on several occasions. I got the same spill over and over...they were so sorry my child's innocence was being taken. Bullying is also a big problem. Bullying for clothing, hair, etc. Once again, the principal said kids were kids. As long as the child wasn't afraid to come to school then it was not considered bullying. There were also multiple occasions of physical fights. What a joke for a so-called Christian school. We paid so much money for heartache and lots of tears. The school is money hungry and tries to cram in as many kids as possible. The best thing I did for my kids was to take them out of BCA.Parent Review5mo ago - The Burlington School
