A reach school is a school where your SAT scores are in the lower range of the SAT scores the school accepts, or your SAT scores are in the mid 50% range or even the top 75% range, but the school is so competitive that there is no guarantee you can get in.
A match school is a school where you SAT scores are in the 50% range of the scores the school accepts.
A safety school is where your SAT scores are in the top 75% or higher that the school accepts, and at that school having scoring in the top 75% range or higher almost guarantees admission
