    Reading has great schools. However, several budget cuts have been made in the last few years which have impacted the school system negatively. Since Reading is a town that refuses to let in any businesses whatsoever, there was an override that was recently passed, but even with that positions at the high school were still cut. I would like to see a town as well as a school system that manages their money better and has the best interests of all types of students that enroll in the schools, including those on IEPs.

    Personally when I attended Reading public schools I always wished there were more things to do when involving the arts. I believe that allowing students to have an outlet like art, music, or sports is important. I just hope they will put money into the music and art programs like they do the sports programs because they are just as important.
    I had a very interesting experience at RMHS, I attended this high school for two years before I went on an did dual enrollment.
    During my time with dual enrollment the High School worked very hard that I was still able to participate in sports and graduate on time!
