I have to agree with Post: Nov. 26, 08. I went through the same changes. At first they were warm and welcoming, but when i expressed ideas about educating the parents to better educate the children things went haywire. As long as you keep quiet they love you, have a suggestion and you're an outcast! Williams Multiplex is an ok school but has the potential to be an OUTSTANDING school, we have to be open minded to everyone's opinion and all possibilities. Then this school can soar to new heights!

Williams has great curriculum and would love to have more ethnicities there. There i feel my kids are safe and treated like family to the williams home.

My 3 children attend this school. At first I loved it and referred other parents to send their children there. My father actually transferred my younger sister there. My brother attended the high school housed on its 3rd floor. But 2 years ago things started to change. If my daughter did not want to graduate with her friends I would have transferred all of my children out. It is not the school I first knew.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Illinois used the Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 4 and 7 in science. The ISAT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Illinois. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
