Overall i think that Reed is a good school. I just think that it lacked a few programs which would definitely been more beneficial for me and others with similar interests like other schools in the district.

Although I am grateful for my time at Reed, there are improvements I would like to see that will benefit the future students there. First off, the facility is not in the best condition. It could use remodeling in many areas which would allow students to feel more welcomed. Additionally, there could be better resources for students in regards to exploring opportunities and activities beyond the school.

My experience with Reed has been less than stellar. I have found that the teachers have grown apathetic to the individual concerns of the students or parents.
