In 2021, Reservoir High was recognised by the Age newspaper as a 'School that Excels' [1] due to the continued improvement of its students' achievements and excellent results in the Victorian Certificate of Education. 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 Model' of teaching.

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.
