THIS IS A REVIEW BY A STUDENT I would highly recommend this school for 7th grade because the science and the math teachers taught me that science and math can be really fun. The next year, some 8th grade teachers are really bad at teaching their subject and on top of that one teacher hates me so much that I hate going to math class now. In 7th grade math used to be really fun but in 8th grade math is really stressful. That's the reason why please go to this school for only 7th grade and don't even think about going to this school if you are an indian. Thank you for reading.

If your child is going through bullying, this school isn't for you. They don't do anything for your child. When they try to help your child, it makes the situation worse. Plus, they don't punish the bullies. Protect your child by not them attending at Riverside Junoir High School.

The classes there aren't boring (at least to me), and that's because of the teachers, too. They include things in certain cl...
