Reservoir High School is one of a select group of secondary colleges to be accredited to offer advanced learning classes (SEAL or Select Entry Accelerated Learning).

The school's improving achievement is based on a culture of respect and firm discipline, underpinned by strengths based restorative practices and strong focus on the straightforward 'Gradual Release of Responsibility' (GRR) Model .

Reservoir High has undergone a renewal of its teaching spaces and grounds.

This includes the construction of a 250 seat Performing Arts Centre, a new Senior School building, 5 external competition grade netball courts (as well as the 4 internal courts as part of the joint use agreement on the Darebin Sports Stadium) and added in 2022 a new Visual Arts and Technology building.
