Riverside high school is a school with amazing support when it comes to academics and overall involvement from students. There's understanding teachers who want to build a connection with students and resources in the school to make sure everyone can be successful. More importantly the councilors have helped my gpa improve from a 4.2 to a 4.4 with recommendation of taking AP classes.
