GreatSchools Rating
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.

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.
