If you don't have it, try David Weber's Reed Making Guide.
Of several great resources that did not exist when I was your age, this is my favorite, overall.
One thing I also wished I'd been taught much sooner is tone is the last of several key tests for a good reed.
Not unimportant, but 5th down on a list of five. In other words, it does not matter if the reed fails on the other factors:
Pitch/intonation, responsiveness (to tongue styles, slurs across registers), dynamic range, expressive range for phrasing.
Obviously, some of these are closely related or overlap.
Do check with your teacher and he or she should be able to quickly rule out some oboe top joint adjustment issue which can impact the way a reed plays in the 3rd octave.
Gook luck.
