The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I've been at this school since Middle School. I've had great teachers and have met lifelong friends! Only thing I wish we could change is the timing and the way us high schoolers are treated. We are in high school and are treated like elementary schoolers 24/7.

JT is simultaneously fantastic and terrible. The main problem is that since it's a small school and there's extra requirements for teachers a lot of classes just don't have a teacher. And while that's not unique among public schools right now it's especially bad given the size of the school. But when there is a teacher the class is usually great. And the intersessions are great if somewhat odly ran.

JT has been a great place to grow with the people I've known for so long. It's a close community and we're all looking out for each other. We're constantly making memories with each other and learning how to help the communities around us. It is a small school so we don't have school sports teams or anything which is a bit of a bummer but as we grow I'm sure we'll have the numbers to finally get a team.

For the time I've been here I've loved this school! I believe the programs are great and almost all the teachers have been awesome! The school's location is less than perfect and recently one of the teachers got arrested but I still love this school. The learning has been great and the programs are...

An incredible school that changed my life. JT Williams is made up of incredible teachers and has an excellent student culture. It has the limitations of a small school, but so many programs and teachers go above and beyond. I will forever be in debt to the peers and educators there.

This school is horrible, attended from 7th- The first quarter or 9th and it’s one of the worst schools of all time, No freedom there and it sucked. I’m so much happier now than at my old school which was J.T williams.

I can tell you that it's a really amazing program. The teachers are amazing, and really make an effort to understand and get to know their students. There's a strong support of developing ideal life skills, and a kind of custom to the student's need that you won't find anywhere else.
