Edward C Reed High School

We moved to this school a few years ago and it has been a great experience. I now have multiple kids going through Marvin Moss, and all their teachers are great!

Teachers work hard to help students, they are great at communicating with parents about goals and progress

I transferred my son to this school towards the beginning of the year due to a horrific experience at a private school. My son was welcomed with open arms, made friends and his teacher—Mrs. Hall—is extremely efficient and gives individualized help to all her students. This school feels like an extension of family and I’m so happy I moved him here.

My 3rd grandchild is starting school here 1st grade. She loves it.

We wanted to love this school, but unfortunately the Dean and Principle have made it difficult to do so. Their disregard on how they speak to parents is very concerning. If you request to speak with them, they immediately become agitated, and respond with dismissive , defensive and fabricated reasons as to why they are right before you can even voice fully why you are concerned or what you need clarification on. If you disagree and have questions , their response is "well it makes sense to us, and your child will adjust." Kids getting hurt on the playground is justified to your child did not disclose the full truth to you as their parent nor was your child able to communicate well with their teacher, and this is why the child's care was delayed though the visible blood on clothing and bruising on nose. I am very disappointed with the lack of support they provide to younger grades, especially with how the kids are directed to arrive at the after school program. I was told all safety precautions were though of and planned out. They even lock the outside gates up at 3:15, so no one would be able to leave the school instead of attending the afterschool program. But 3:45 and gates wide open not locked. I hope they can do better. As a parent this is not what I imagined my child would be exposed to.
