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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Its not a very diverse school. I do enjoy the small classes and that you know everybody in your class. Also, there's not many clubs or classes that could help interest you in a certain career. For a college prep school it offer a little bit but not much.

I personally feel that the school is content with being mediocre. Whether this being in facilities for students, expectations of teachers, or just school spirit. The school is rather bland and uninspiring most times.

I attended River Mill from kindergarten until 12th grade (class of 2023) and my older sister (class of 2016) did as well. It is definitely a great school as far as academics and there are no issues when it comes to behavior. I enjoyed my time there and don't have any complaints except for the fact that there's no football team lol. I loved the tight knit community within our class and everybody knowing each other.
A lot of things are hidden at this school to make appearances seem good to the public. While claiming to have zero tolerance for bullying, I was informed by the principal that Rivermill is a school of choice and my child didn't have to go there when I approached him about a bullying issue with my ch...
