Prospective Parents

Welcome Prospective Parents!

Thank you for your interest in having your child attend Walter Reed Middle School. Reed is a vibrant community of approximately 1580 scholars housed in five Smaller Learning Communities (SLC), each designed to fit the different needs and interests of all kinds of students. All of Reed’s SLCs utilize collaborative cross-curricular assignments with an advanced library research curriculum. Take a moment to browse through the SLC’s we offer here at Reed by clicking on the links below.

 

 

An advantage our students have by attending our large and diverse school is that it allows them a variety of enrichment classes, clubs, sports, academic competitions, leadership opportunities and performance venues for all students, regardless of SLC enrollment.

 

Walter Reed has a large population of LAUSD Gifted and Talented, or GATE identified students, which enables us to offer classes in Geometry and Algebra 2 to students ready to accelerate. 

 

Here at Reed we are committed to educating all of our students to their maximum potential. Ensuring a good match that places your child in the appropriate learning environment is our primary goal. We know the importance of matching the academic and social opportunities of our Smaller Learning Communities (SLC) with the needs and abilities of your child.
