What I like most about William Byrd is the inclusivity of the school itself, mostly everyone here is accepted for who they are and there are hardly any major issues with school safety. Most of the Administration here at school care heavily for the safety of both staff and students, which is very important to me and makes me feel comforted knowing that my classmates' and I's safety will be placed foremost before anything else.

It is a great school! Of course no one or no thing is perfect but it overall is really good! Great people, great teachers, great principals! Sports are good and fun being with all the students pulling for our teams!

In 2007, William Byrd tested positive for toxic mold -- the public was never fully informed of the toxic nature of testing. My son tested p...
