The school lacks diversity, but has great education, and nice mix of teachers.

William J. was an amazing school for my boys. The teachers continually went above and beyond to connect with the kids, and the administrators really get to know the students.

This school is average I think. It does have many great teachers but some do have an attitude. But the way the teams are set up is organized. Although the school has a great band! But when you look at the building you can tell it is showing its age (some leaks, "on the floor toilets", no a/c, etc.) And sometimes communication between the parents and teachers is poor.
