Williams Field is not the place to send your kids. Just look at how low the test scores are. In an area where the houses are around 400,000 and median family income around 100,000 you should expect better test scores. With open enrollment in Arizona don't hesitate to move your kids to a school with better academics. Look at how low the reading scores are. Good luck in life if you have trouble reading. It's been know as a place to send your kid if they are failing out of other schools. 94 percent graduation rates but test scores dropping like a rock. Close Quote
