"Good but Room for Improvement"

We were initially impressed with Reading School's strong reputation and commitment to character education. While our son has had a positive experience so far, we've noticed some inconsistencies in teaching quality and communication from the school. We appreciate the efforts to create a sense of community, but we'd like to see more opportunities for parent involvement. 2023-02-10

"Wonderful Years at Reading School"

My son had an incredible time at Reading School, and we were so impressed with the way the school nurtures students' character and prepares them for the world beyond. The Community Carnival event was a highlight of our year, and we've kept in touch with many of the family and friends we met. We're grateful for the friendships and memories we made during our time at Reading School. 2021-11-15
