This School’s Reviews

4.0 Junior

5/27/2024

River Valley is a high school that prepares you for college. The teachers are there to help you and push you to be the best version of yourself. Every teacher there is very passionate about their class. The down sides of the school are that there is not a lot of sport options and elective options.

5.0 Senior

10/20/2023

I love this school because not only does it teach me time management and prepare me for college, but it is also very personal. The teachers are always prepared to help you and if you need extra time on an assignment they are very understanding.

5.0 Senior

10/20/2023

River Valley allows students to understand time management because we are able to work on our own time during the days when we are not on campus.

Our daughter struggled in middle school not achieving her full potential-not a problem here. Teachers and Staff are nothing short of impressive. If you are not happy with teacher involvement and communication at your current school, then I highly recommend River Valley!

My daughter has gone to this school for 2 years and we love it. Besides excelling in her studies the teachers are preparing her well for college and life. She can get tutoring in any subject whenever she needs it. They talk about colleges, careers and life skills on a regular basis in a tangible way...
