I'm an Asian student, and I came from Vietnam. The first time when I came to Riverside High School as a Junior, I was impressed by the school campus. I love the teachers and the staff there because they help me a lot with my language. I love my school so much.

I like how small the school is. It allows for a more personal connection with the teachers. I would like for there to be more extra curricular activities besides sports. I would like a little more attention placed on the arts.

Riverside is a pretty decent school. Like in all places, Riverside has it's ups and downs. I honestly love attending my high school though. Over the past years I have made some lifetime friends that I will always keep in touch with.

The only good ratings this school gets is from the students..... I don't think I could have given you a reliable opinion of the quality of education I received from MY high school when I was a kid....Those students aren't going to realize they received a poor education until they become adults........
