I have seen all the teachers here strive to be the best in their teaching methods. I would definitely send my own child here, and it is one of the best schools in the parish. Discipline is strict, but that provides for less disruptions and more learning going on. If your child is a disruption, be

You have to keep in mind that at any public school, your child will be subjected to some 'families' that you may not find acceptable. Overall, these types of families are the minority in this school district, but in comparison to private schools, it is a slightly lower status. We just got a new principal in January, and she is wonderful. She's very approachable and experienced. Read less

As a parent of a special needs child, I was pleased with the help and interest my son received from the staff during his third grade year. However; as his emotional needs and behavior became more intense the teachers and principal seemed much less helpful and less accessible. The homebound program

This was precious educational time for a fourth grader. Luckily he was accepted into a special program called Evolutions that is affiliated with the Baton Rouge school district. He has shown much improvement in behavior and completion of school assignments. Read less

My experience at DC Reeves has been a pleasant one with regards to the office staff, teachers, and principals. I do see some room for improvement when it comes to subs. as many are qualified on paper but not the 'child friendly' people they need to be. In my experience, you must get involved and if

My child was diagnosed with a back tumor and during this very, very difficult time the staff worked with me and my child, as well as my family to see to it his educational needs were met as well as his comfort at school. Again it is very important to get to know the people who are getting to know your children. Read less

More consideration for how student feel and what they have to say would be a great help. I understand administration must back up teachers and subs but on occasion they can be wrong. Yelling at students for a sub or teachers error is no way to handle a problem. When treated this way, students this

D.C. Reeves as a whole is a pretty good school. I did not have any problems with teachers I found them to be caring and helpful. However the leadership in this school leaves very much to be desired! She is very hard to talk to and not only with the parents but the students as well. Which I consider a

In the past, this school was average when my older children were there. The school lost many good teachers because of the leadership.

She didn't even try to show that she would help with any problems. I sure wish D.C Reeves would get a good caring person to lead and work with our children and teachers for a change. Tucker made a great improvement with Mr. Williams and Martha Vinyard has a one that will at least talk with you and make you feel she cares. Come on, show some feeling in your leadership DC Reeves Principle! Read less
