Reed school is an excellent school. My daughter is getting a very good education there.

I think that Reed Intermediate School is a school with exceptional quality. The staff are incredible. They help the student personally instead of doing the same thing over and over again. However, I moved from Woodland Intermediate School, a school in the Chicago area and I felt that I learned a lot more than in RIS.
However, there are many extracurricular activities and assemblies to support peace, yet we haven't really established peace yet. We are learning the same things about peace over the course of the year.
Overall, this is an o.k. school and pretty much the only one in the area.
