Mary Williams Elementary School

My daughter went to this school for one and she was heavy bullied by somebody with a disability she was slapped hit and she's also disabled. school never took matters correctly into hands. told my daughter to ignore the bullying. my daughter suffered 1 stroke. from the underlying stress and thousands of freezes up meaning she couldn't move her body I gave the school doctors notes everything for them to stop the bullying but wouldn't because the student had a behavior problem. my daughter was having so much anxiety it was terrifying. I can't believe what this school put my daughter through. and when she finally fought back after being hit multiple times with things inside PE. she defended herself. she got suspended and was told to apologize? in front of the whole school for her actions. actually, I'll never recommend this school to ANYONE. and my daughter told everything to teachers the head they did nothing but talked it out which didn't work at all. worst school my daughter has ever been to more like a prison.

My son is a 5th grader here and the effort teachers are putting towards his academic goals are outstanding.The Principal,Assistant Principal all the sped staff and general edu staff is excellent.

I love the school my son is a student and i dont have any problems

Great things to say about this school!!

We are from New Mexico originally so went through the elementary system there. But moved here from Las Vegas Nevada. I will say this my son attended here two years 4th and 5th. My daughter is still here and she still has another year. Some of their teachers have been great. Some just ok, lack communication, won’t email back, or will but days later. The school lacks culture diversity. I am sorry but there are so many children from different races and ethnicities that attend this school and it seems to be that one is just represented. This school also lacks community all around. My son goes to Rippon now and seeing the programs there, the parent engagement, the communication, the principal also communicates and is very diverse. This is what Fitzgerald is lacking. My question is why has nothing been done? It also lacks arts.. my daughter hates going to art because the art teacher never does his job. He then lies on the report card that he teachers certain things like 2D, 3D, or clay and she has done none of it. I don’t understand how this elementary has not been checked on and how it goes under the radar or how the principal is praised for being mediocre. I guess I am used to the elementary schools in the southwest states being more culturally inclusive and having more parent involvement and community.

We loved this school. My son made progress in his academics and was well supported by his teachers. He bonded with his amazing teachers. They were very communicative with parents and did a lot of great activities for the kids.
