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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I like Riverside overall Riverside is a nice school. It's not the first high school I would have wanted to go to but since to my living situation I had to go to the school throughout the years. It has been quite frankly challenging but overall I've seen progression and change my freshman year at the school. There was a lot of disruptions disrespectful to anyone and everyone that went to this school. My sophomore year I changed my perspective and actually started trying. My junior year I was mainly focusing on things that could make me look great for college and my senior year. I'm going to try even harder. i'm gonna miss everyone I made it to school including the teachers that I never really gotten close to but had a few off the side conversations with especially my anatomy teacher she was the best. I'm also upset that I've decided to join the track team late with one year left of high school time really does go by fast and these are really bittersweet moments and forever grateful .

The best experience was the staff, they make a huge impact on their students and always try their best to help. The worst experience was the countless of times there has been an unsafe environment.

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.

Not only was the process very aggravating because of lack of communication between the school and board, it took almost two months to be approved and it would've been longer had I not went to...
