J T McWilliams Elementary School

Last year my son went to a different school he hated going to school. He is in the 1st grade this year and just loves it. He loves his teacher Mr. Ramirez and he loves most of his class mates. He is doing really well and helping others to try and do better also.

My three kids attend this school and I really like this school for my kids. The teachers know what they are doing and are great at their jobs. I just wish some of the parents were a little more involved with how their kids are getting along in school. You are doing a wonderful job Principal Cheung.

My son has been at J.T. going on 4 years and has done very well there.I have met all my sons teachers and feel that they are extremely caring about the children's education.This school does offer extra activities as well as parent involvement. The staff have always been helpful and I'm glad my son has done very well there.

The teachers are very good and care about the students alot at this school. But there are no programs to help motivate the students. They have no honor roll, student of the month,, no principals list. The principal of this school is very stand offish and does not interact much with the students and parents. My daughter went to this school for 4 years. She did well at this school because she is very bright but I think she would have excelled at a different school. This school is economically depressed so they do not have many opportunities to give the kids extras. The racial make up is not particularly diverse. My daughter was definitely in the minority. So she didn't get to have a lot of interaction with the other students due to the fact that the majority are still trying to learn english and adjust to how the system works.
