I Love Williams Township School, it is the best school in Columbus County, (The Best Teachers in Columbus County). It is more like a Big Family rather than a school. I would give this School a 5 star rating. It's just a Wonderful School.....

Williams Elementary is the best school in Columbus County. They have alot of wonderful teachers. My son is in the 3rd grade now and I haven't found a bad teacher yet. They really care about the kids they don't wait until the child is way behind before they notify you they let you know immedently. I would highly recommend it.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 North Carolina used End-of-Grade (EOG) tests to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math, and grades 5, 8, and 10 in science. The EOG is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of North Carolina. Students must pass the grade 8 EOG test in order to graduate from high school. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the tests.
