Reading Community City Schools
Reading Community City School District serves nearly 1,700 students in a state-of-the-art campus in the City of Reading, a small residential community of 3.1 square miles centrally located north of downtown Cincinnati. Reading is home to approximately 10,385 residents who have a long history of valuing and supporting public education at the highest level. That expectation is reflected in the commitment of the school district to provide an excellent education for each student through rigorous academics, loyal staff, and a wide-range of enrichment opportunities. Reading Community City Schools values the whole child education where every child in Preschool through 12th grade has the chance to grow academically, physically, socially and emotionally.
