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.

The school is good and there is a good community. There are multiple different groups of people. For sports some times there are not based on skill and instead based on your race but mainly based on your connections.

My experience in reservoir highschool was good, the teachers that I have met were very caring about our aspirations and some are really good at explaining certain subjects that we are learning in class. The school can be pretty dull at times but the creativity of the students are out of this world.

I loved the amount of school spirit and to see how much others cared about being apart of Reservoir. The worse parts would be some of the teachers who make students learn essentially by themselves and don't actually help them learn the material. I'd like to see changes in the involvement of some teachers and an improvement in the facilities at Reservoir.
