GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall, my experience with Riverside High School was positive but what really makes the school shine is its teachers. There were numerous courses that I took during my time at Riverside that the teacher enhanced the class even more whether it be their humor, personality, teaching style, activities, etc. I would actually look forward to going to certain classes because of how fun and engaging certain teachers would be.

I feel in my earlier years at RHS the school lacked in academic opportunity, but this could be in part because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Towards the end of my sophomore year I found more opportunities. I would like to see the school advertise it's academic clubs more so that upcoming freshman are aware of what is available to them.
