I was very lucky to have the teachers that I had. They were all very kind and made an effort to prove that they cared about my education. The worst part of my experience there had to be the heating issues it had in the winter, I remember it being pretty chilly in the school during winter. As long as that gets fixed though it's not a bad school.

My overall experience with riverside high school was good , the teachers really connect with you . They make sure your doing straight with all of your work and the worst part would probably be the covid years , I wasn't able to live a normal life. I didn't get to have the high school experience I wanted .
