9th Grade Parent
"William & Reed keeps it real. Employees genuinely care. They are doers and problem solvers, not policy administrators. As a result, they are excellent role models for the students. Content and expectations are sufficiently challenging, yet with perspective, wisdom, grace, and truth.
My child will finish high school stronger and healthier, not frazzled and exhausted."

Parent of Academy Student
The first day he came home is the day our lives changed. The battles and fighting were behind us. It’s the last day I had to help him with his homework. He now has the structure in place to get it done.
11th Grade Student
The way they teach at William & Reed is different. I have teachers who want to know me, rather than a teacher putting up a wall you can’t get past. I feel like I'm learning now. I got my life back because we are learning more in class.
Faculty Member
At William & Reed, I can teach and do it the right way rather than being told to push kids through to pass. I now have the access and time to get to know and connect with my students.
12th Grade Student
I didn't realize my academic ability until I was here. I didn't realize what I was capable of until I could explore it. Teachers were able to push me more because they had a better idea of my abilities.
