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.

Riverwood middle school was an overall great school. our principle, Mr. Lee was a fantastic older gentleman who sadly passed away. The staff genuinely cared about us and our success. It is also located in a very convenient area as it is in the Riverwood subdivision. The sports were also a huge activity and many students would get involved with them.
