School Overview

Reed Elementary sits in south Tacoma, a working-class neighborhood with a strong sense of community and easy access to parks and local amenities along the corridor between downtown and the suburbs. The school punches well above its weight in English and math, consistently landing in the top fifth of Washington state schools in both subjects — a draw for families who prioritize strong foundational academics. Science scores are more of a work in progress, so families who want STEM emphasis may want to ask the school directly about how that curriculum is evolving.
