  • I honestly can't recommend Reed Elementary right now. The chronic absenteeism rate is over 50%, which is a huge red flag—it feels like half the kids are out sick or just not showing up every day. My child has complained about the bathrooms multiple times, and the ventilation in the older parts of the building is pretty bad, which makes us nervous during flu season. With the student-to-teacher ratios where they are, there's just no way the staff can keep a handle on hygiene or give kids the individual attention they need when they aren't feeling well. It feels like the wellness of the students is an afterthought compared to just trying to keep the doors open.
