This school has been incredibly welcoming to our family. Being a military family it can be challenging for children to start over again, Ralph Williams staff made my children feel so supported and welcomed from day one.

Williams is an excellent school with wonderful staff that truly care about the whole child and his/her needs. This school feels like a true family that supports one another in order to allow every student the opportunity to learn, grow and succeed.

Williams Elementary is a wonderful school for both my special needs child, as well as my typically developing child. Both of my children started at Williams at 3 years old in the Preschool program and they love their school. The teachers at Williams work hard to make learning fun and to keep kids interested in learning. The extra activities for families are always well done and very organized. From the front office staff to the enrichment teachers to the assistant teachers...everyone is there to serve children with a smile.

My oldest daughter has been attending since Kindergarten and is now in 6th grade. This school has been absolutely wonderful in every way. I wish they went all the way to 8th grade, but we have cherished our years here. My youngest has now started Kindergarten here, and we are looking forward to continuing with Ralph Williams throughout her elementary years as well.

Very happy as a parent of 3. We have moved around a lot and this is by far the best school we have been to. We love Williams! Mister Harold is the nicest Principal and best one we have had.

Posted: April 4, 2018

Teachers communicate with parents and listen. Have had only good experiences here and I have 3 kids in this school.

Posted: March 22, 2018

The teachers at Williamson Elementary school are wonderful. It has been the best experience for my 3 kids. The teachers are knowledgeable, friendly, happy to work with you and stay in touch easily.

Posted: March 22, 2018

The teachers incorporate lessons on things like kindness, which I really appreciated! The school promotes building character.

Posted: March 22, 2018

It is the best school we have ever attended and Mr. Harold is the best principal, my children respect him and really love him at the same time. It is a top notch school and we are happy that we go to Williams! Best school!

I am excited about the new principal and all he has to offer. We attended Suntree Elementary a couple of years ago and he was so wonderful there. I was disappointed with Williams, but soon learned how to navigate to make it work for us. I am looking so forward to this year and Mr. Reed's involvement.

My daughter has been attending this school for several years now and I have two more that will be joining. I am happy with the school overall. There are areas that can be improved but I have never felt like me child was being denied an excellent education. I am very involved in the school and as such am aware of the dynamics. I have made it a point to do so because I am my child's advocate and the only person that will stand up for her. The teachers she has had have been wonderful and it is clear they are doing this job for the best interest of the students. With the new changes in the administration, I know that only better things can come and our family of five is looking forward to it.

We were very disappointed with the administration and teachers at this school. The staff seems very unhappy working there and it is noticed by the children. My child asked me how the teachers and staff could go an entire day without breaking a smile. We were very disappointed with my child's teacher. The school seems very "institutionalized." During a conference with my child's teacher, I expressed concern over my child's safety after witnessing a fight on the playground while the two teachers on duty didn't notice because they were laughing and talking among each other with their back to the children. When I brought this to the school's attention, one of the teachers on duty became very aggressive towards me and called me a liar. I contacted the principle concerning an issue with my child's teacher, but the principle was absolutely no help and expressed no concern towards my issue. My child was removed from this school, which we are extremely happy with our decision. I am aware of other students that changed schools due to similar concerns.

This is an ok school, not an excellent one.the principal has to be changed, as she doesn't do much. Some teachers are horrible, some teacher are okay and a few are really good. 4th grade is not too good, 5th grade is the worst and disorganized, other grades are fine. Some reviews are written by the staff, if you read them you know which ones are written by the parents! I will have to move my kids which is frustrating as we live close to the school. I am right now thinking really hard on the right thing to do for my kids.

I have had nothing but positive experiences with this school so far. This is our first year attending, and I am completely satisfied with the level of support and services we have received. Communication with my child's teacher has been prompt and attentive, which is important to me. Having a student with special learning needs and services, it feels great sending her off knowing she is in caring and supportive hands who can help her learn, grow and reach her full potential. I also am impressed with the amount and variety of after school activities they have for the children!

Ralph Williams is a great public school for students with parent involvement. Teachers are receptive when parents ask questions and expect the best guidance for student achievement. There are many extra-curricular activities offered after school. The school is nestled in a community that encourages walking and biking to school. RW is a Glasser model school and has also won the national blue ribbon school award.

I can't think of one good thing to say about this school. The front office staff are rude, the principle is very unapproachable and unwilling to help children that have problems... it's just a shame. Our neighbors feel the same- in fact a few of us are planning to move to get away from this school.

Ralph Williams Elementary is holding up wonderfully in an environment under flex, due to the closing of the space shuttle program! The teachers, staff and administration know most of the students by name and there is a strong sense of community! My kids have really enjoyed their time at Ralph Williams!

Posted: December 4, 2011

This is a TERRIBLE school. Take your kids and run! I had heard some bad things about the school and its teachers before moving in the area, but figured it was just hear say. Boy do I regret that! My kids went from A honor roll students to D's and F's and we aren't even out of the first grading period. The teachers will not work with the parents at all, Communication is rare. I found that the school board has also had several complaints and we aren't the only ones with these issues. The principal always backs the teachers instead of believing the students or parents account. I can't believe that anyone has had any good experiences at this school. I wouldn't recommend this school to my worst enemy.

We were very impressed with Ralph Williams Elementary and have had only positive experiences with this school. Our children's teachers showed excellent compassion and enthusiasm, and they had a great ability to make our kids excited about learning. Parental involvement is outstanding, and we were very pleased with the strong sense of community.

Ralph Williams has not been a good school for my son. He has focusing issues and all the school faculty want you to do is to put your child on medication. I ended up having to do this because they were not helping him get through this tough time. My son had problems in Kinder and he was moved to 1st grade which was ok. (I would rather him repeat 1st than Kinder). But If the school noticed this problem in Kinder, you would think that if he started out his 1st grade year having difficulties they would have stepped in to help him.......definitely not the case!!! I had to push for him to get testing done. It was to late in the school year so now he is repeating 1st grade. What happend to "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND"?????
