Marie Reed Elementary School

Posted: August 20, 2026

I was trying to get my daughter into this school we just moved around the neighborhood went inside the school to get information and they told us the school was closed . Even though on the website it says it it open , very rude guy at the front who was on his phone and not paying attention we were at the door for about 10 or 15 min before anyone answered . Will not be taking her here based upon that first impressions mean a lot and that was a horrible experience.

I moved from Thailand, and my son had a hard time adjusting to the new environment, new friends, and a new school. But the teachers here have been so kind and supportive. They constantly help him and always keep me updated on his progress. Even when he was sick, they reached out right away.

I love joining field trips and participating in school activities with him. There’s nothing more important than knowing our elementary kids are in good hands - and here, I truly feel that they are.

I have two children who have been in the school for the last 3 years. The teachers, front office staff, and support are incredible. Every person on staff knows every kid--from the security guard to the special ed teachers. Your student will really feel seen and special. The student body is diverse and the school supports a warm, welcoming learning environment. The level of instruction seems superior to what I hear from friends at the private schools in DC (50K+ per year). The dual language program is phenomenal. Not planning to move solely because of this school.

The new facility enhances the high morale which in turn has lead to eager children and motivated staff. The results are beginning to show in test scores. Parents and staff are building a strong community based school.

The only good news is that this is not our assigned school. If it were we would definitely not continue here!!

My 4 year old reads at about 2nd grade level and report card says my kid only knows few letters of the alphabet! This teacher spent 3 months with my kid and she doesn’t know anything about my kid or the other 15 disregarded students in the class. At PK3 we were at another school with 26 students and the teacher noticed my kid could read on second day of class. So something is really wrong here!

A number of times I have seen students taking care of each other, looking out for each other, from little gestures like making sure they don't leave a book or coat behind, to larger things like comforting a hurt classmate when they're crying or hugging a kid who is leaving early to go home sick. It's a very warm, family community.

This school is excellent! My child is receiving such a great education in a very socially and culturally diverse environment. The dual language model is incredible, the staff is so friendly and inviting to new families, and the new plan for renovations to the building is really exciting. The staff, parents, and community are clearly invested in the success of the school. They have innovative ways of providing services and activities to the kids. Art, Music, Tennis, Soccer, Snowboarding, just to name a few I cannot stress enough what a great choice this school would be for any child!

Marie Reed is an ethnically, racially and socioeconomically diverse community that supports the needs of all students. I have loved working here and have enjoyed getting to know the teaching and parent community. My colleagues are excellent and all have impressive pedagogical knowledge; I know that all kids are getting a great education regardless of their classroom teacher. I am continually pushed to become a better teacher because of the connections I've made with my students and families. Every staff member makes an effort to help every child in the school. I am lucky to be part of the Marie Reed family!

This school has been amazing for our kindergartener. The dual-language program is invaluable for Spanish immersion, and the curriculum is challenging and engaging. Our teacher has been at this school for 22 years, yet still has all the energy of a 5-year-old! The kids adore her, and so do we. The building is a bit outdated, but the facilities offer so many great options - a pool, a basketball court, tennis courts, and our brand new soccer field - not to mention two separate playgrounds. They have a partnership with Fillmore Arts Center for half-day art and music every week, in addition to on-site art classes. The principal is heavily involved in the school community, and has been very responsive to all of our questions and issues. And all of the staff are quick to reach out and help or just say 'hi' whenever we're in the building. More and more families in the neighborhood are choosing to go to Marie Reed; it's the best little school you've never heard of. We love it!
