reputed - Dont say this. One possible, and common, meaning is that your school is supposed to be the best but probably is not.

reputable - Say this.



Where I live, this kind of writing would seem excessively polite. We'd just

Both are OK, but I think 'reputable' is better.

I assume that the use of such adjectives is the common style of writing, where you live.

When you use the word reputable what you mean is that, the school has a good reputation, and can be trusted. In this case you are sure of the facts.

when you use the word reputed what you mean is that, you have heard from other sources that the school is a good school and can be trusted, but you are not very sure whether the school is really a good one or not.
