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.

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.

River Dell needs to begin offering earlier and more personalized advising, starting as early as freshman year. The guidance department should work one-on-one with each student to help them figure out their goals post-graduation. They should provide college essay writing support and alumni mentorship.

I would recommend River Dell High School to any and all who would choose to come here. I enjoy this school very much, and there is so much that this school has to offer. They have so many different electives and options for different classes. They also partner with different neighboring colleges to gain credits in college classes.

This school has no diversity. They don’t care about equality of the children. They need to except of all kinds and teach about it.
