As a leading pre-kindergarten through sixth-grade elementary school, Riverside Elementary is dedicated to providing exceptional education while teaching kids to "learn to care and care to learn." At Riverside Elementary, students follow their mascot, the falcon, in soaring to new heights in achieving academically and becoming responsible citizens in the community. Students here consistently score well above the state average in math, English literacy skills, and science. Riverside Elementary's campus offers a wide range of resources, including state-of-the-art classrooms, a cafeteria, a full gymnasium, a multi-media library, two playground areas, athletic courts, and an expansive recreation field. The campus also hosts the historic Brown House, a pioneer homestead adjacent to the Oregon Trail. Students enjoy the many academic programs available, including arts, crafts, and music classes, STEM-based lessons that encourage engineering and science skills, and the after-school "Just For Kids" program. Parents appreciate coordinating with teachers here and the active parent-teacher organization that oversee annual school holiday events and fundraisers. Riverside Elementary School's dedication to your child's academic success makes it a leading contender for quality education in Southeast Boise.

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.
