Rodger Williams Academy

My child has been at this school for 2 years and my experience has been only positive.
I have found nothing but loving, compassionate, and dedicated people at this.school. This is a very. family based establishment and you will be. welcomed with open arms. Your child is more than a tuition at this place. They care about the children as if. their own. Actually the principals own grandchildren attend the school.
I was motivated to write this review after reading another post with some serious allegations.
It just breaks my heart that someone would post such a thing that could devastate a persons life. Especially without having personal experience.
I am a supervigilant and over protective mother.
There have been so many horror stories of abuse so I did my homework very well before enrolling my child in this school. Here is my first hand experience.
1. Called the school district, CPS, and the police department to see if. there had ever been any complaints of any kind. I found nothing.
2. Pastor Gary Smith is a retired and respected police officer.
3. After two years of attendance and also visiting the pastors home to visit with the family, my child has never talked about experiencing or witnessing inappropriate behavior.
As parents we have an obligation to make sure our children are safe. I did my homework and researched everything. I am confident my. child is in good hands.

I attend Roger Williams Academy for 2 years. They were by far the worst years of schooling I have ever experienced. The PACE system they use does not motivate students the principal Gary Smith has had allegations of sexual misconduct with students. He was very inappropriate with the female students.
I was bullied there and no actions were taken against the students bullying me. When I left almost none off credits transferred with me. The Gary told me I would not succeed without him. I am now at a top tier university. I wish I could give this «school» no stars
