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.

Williams Montessori has been an excellent school and I'm please I had the opportunity to complete my schooling in the Montessori environment. The Montessori environment has equipped me with essential life skills and prepared me for college.

While I do believe that my experience at JT has been a good one, there have been many notable experiences that I don't wish to repeat. For one, admin is understaffed and overworked, so many scholarship opportunities slipped through my fingers as I didn't know about them. Also, the lack of holding students accountable for sexual assault is frightening. However, the teachers are mostly great and the honors curriculum has been very beneficial for me.

The best experiences at this school are mainly the academics. The school offers most of the classes in honors. I also love the art side of the school. A lot of people at the school are very creative and get to express that creativity. What I would like to see change is the process of getting teachers. I understand that we have a shortage of teachers, but I do want all of the teachers to go through the proper training to become Montessori teachers.

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.

Good, the student body is good, homework is fair, teachers are good (for the most part), and the administration is effective.
