I really like Riverdale. I have been going since 6th grade, and it has been great. The school has a great community, and most teachers are very involved in learning and often will make meetings with students to check in or just help out in general. Our aquatic center is also great.

Successful at getting kids into the high quality colleges, but a bit too limousine liberal to provide a balanced education from a social perspective.
