John R. Williams was established in 1957 as a K-6 school with 13 classrooms. In the 1980's and early 1990's class size was 32 students per classroom. Class-size reduction occurred in the 1996-97 school year. That dropped the class size for grades K-3 to 20 students per teacher. In 1992 the first 7th grade class was started at JRW making us a K-7 school. There were two classes of 25 students each, which moved up to be our first 8th grade, class to promote in the 1993-94 school year. JRW has been a K-8 school since that time.
