Reid School is accredited with the Northwest
Accreditation Commission, for Kindergarten through Twelfth
Grade.
What is Accreditation?
“Accreditation is recognition of a high-quality and well
balanced educational program. Accreditation serves as the catalyst
for school improvement. It generally helps to upgrade the
quality of instruction and the school’s program of
study. Accredited schools meet NWAC’ accreditation standards
considered essential for quality education.”¹
The Value of Accreditation.
“One over-riding value of accreditation is the promotion of
continuous school improvement which leads to increased student
achievement. In addition, it affirms that objective conditions
for quality and progress exist in the school. Accreditation
attests to the potential for excellence and provides a method for
the school to show how it meets approved regional accreditation
standards and thereby stands as a beacon in the community.”¹
