Open Quote Williams is by no means a perfect high school, but its many minor flaws create a sense of camaraderie among the students. Williams is by no means a beautiful high school, but its aesthetic deficiencies allow for the students to grow a deep fondness for it. Like a dog. Everybody loves ugly dogs.

If something happened to this place, I can speak for many of the people that attended Williams when I say that it would be an absolute tragedy. Williams will never be a cookie-cutter, nice school, but that's exactly why we love it. Close Quote

Open Quote There are constant fights, and confrontations. There are mostly low class minorities who go to the school, and have no intention of learning. Most of the students do drugs, and some of them do the drugs inside of the school. It is not very good. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
