GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at Reynolds High School has been really nice, the diversity makes it very easy to feel involved at school. Sometimes it can be difficult to be at school but the teachers make it better, they make sure everyone is okay at all times. Everyone's high school experience can be difficult but being a student at Reynolds High School made my experience 10x better.

I like Reynolds simply because of the campus and you get to walk outside a lot. The school has a lot of issues in its self, fights everyday you never really feel fully safe or secure no matter what they do just of how the students are. Some teachers are nice and genuinely care about the students but some definitely do not and definitely should not be teaching at all for there lack of empathy or immaturity. I had a fun 4 years but I would not send my children here ever the school is very dirty and is never cleaned in a way a school should be cleaned and the food is horrible it's always stale or over cooked. The school is old so it is also very run down.

As a former faculty member who has taught at other schools, I think Reynolds is among the best. Students have a chance to pursue their talents, develop their academic ability, and to soar!
