My son (1st grade) loves this school so far. The staff is friendly and very helpful. I am not sure why the previous review on here states that minorities are treated badly since the school has a good mix of all races and ethic backgrounds and I have never seen or heard of any unfair treatment. They also try to involve the parents as much as possible through the PTA fundraisers, which I think is wonderful. The principal is always doing something with the kids as well and knows most of the children by name.

The worst experience for my kids. we are considered minority our kids feel like strangers too much hate and supremacy. I moved to Woburn because I see the score of Reeves school on many pages actually it turns to be a nightmare. I wish the principal and most staffs rethink the way they treat minorities and specially our kids. we are unwelcome in this school as in many other. Hope things change as today seems to be unfair.

This is our sons first year, just started Kindergarten. He's learning so much and enjoys going to school everyday. The secretary and the school nurse are wonderful and very helpful. Great experience so far.

Fantastic teachers, the secretary is a doll, the principal is too militant. He is worried more about scores than children, says horrible things to them (any age) and has no patience. Aside from him, the school is a good one!

My daughter goes to this school. The teachers are very sincere and good. The staff members specially Lowes behavior is excellent. The principal is good too. But I think he has to be more socialable with the parents of minorities. This is not his fault but I think he has to be aware of it. I faced a tremendous depressive moment with him when my child is really doing well in this school.
