I've been in Riverdale Highschool for 4 years straight. Throughout my time in this school, I have seen a lot. The teachers didn't get a 5 because there is room for improvement; however, I understand they tried their best. As a black Hispanic Latina woman, I hoped to see more people like me. However, this school lacks diversity. It's mainly white boys who I feel I cannot connect with. This school isn't necessarily bad, but there is some things that must be improved.

Riverdale High School is an amazing school. They work with all students to ensure they are doing their best academically and getting ready for life after highschool.

Riverdale was the greatest experience of my life. I used to be quiet and shy. Teachers, faculty and coaches help me break out of that shell. I now step up and speak out way more. I participated in multiple sports at this school. Some sports were my first time. I learned now only the sport but how to be a team player and a leader. The coaches were always there for me on and off the field. The teachers were always available to me whenever I needed help with school work or advice.

The reason I put average is because some teachers in the school do not grade a single paper that is turned in by students. This could be overlooked if it was a single quarter, but this has been going on for the entire school year. All the other classes I attend are good, some slightly worse than oth...
