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.

When I first transferred to RVHS, I was very nervous. This was my first high school experience if any at all. The teachers are generous, the academics, are somewhat okay, and the food is treacherous. Repulsive to the point I refuse to eat it. But, otherwise, RVHS, is a wonderful school, and there's something for everybody.

This school has been a great place to spend the last four years. The student body is very interconnected and we have a lot of good students, this place feels like one big family. Furthermore, the teachers here are very supportive of us involved students, and are mostly good teachers. Overall, this is a good high school surrounded by a good community and with a very welcoming and friendly student body, you can really walk down the halls and talk to almost anyone.

My experience at both River Valley middle and high school have been remarkable. Within these past 2 years I have experienced the clubs and other extra curricular offered which enhance my schooling overall. I would love to see the music program at our school evolve as we have very talented students and teachers who are passionate about this topic.
