What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, October 18, 2012

I am a parent of a middle school student. We had heard about the excellent academic reputation at Williams and were really excited when our children entered the school. My impression is that academically they are a good school. Most teachers seem to be active with students and to be well trained. Where this school is lacking, and in my mind what makes a great school, is a school that nurtures a caring community in their students. It is this area that I find lacking at Williams. The administration (e.g., principal, assistant principal) at times acts inappropriately with both students and parents, using a manner that is cold, unkind and threatening. They set a tone that makes this school fall short of a great school. Great schools nurture both academic learning and social/emotional intelligence, and Williams fails to sufficiently nurture the latter. Close Quote
