WD Williams is a diamond in the rough. The teachers are dedicated to education and inclusion. The support staff meets the moment every day. LGBTQ students and parents are embraced and welcomed without hesitation. Every single person working there goes above and beyond their calling.

A hidden gem with a great Spanish dual language program. The teachers outside of the program are wonderful too. My kiddo is always greeted with a smile by the entire staff.
