GreatSchools Rating
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.

River Dell is honestly fine. It's a good school with many students willing to learn. It prioritizes education and sports. There are a bunch of traditions around here, and it even has a Youtube channel. Speaking of which, there are many out-there electives that you don't usually come across. Cafeteria food is... okay, but I bring in lunch so what do I know about it.

I like how the school offers many different types of clubs, activities, and sports. There is always something for everyone's interests and needs. The teachers are hands on and are dedicated to seeing everyone succeed. The guidance department has been super helpful in preparing students for college and getting through the application process.

Teachers are sometimes unfair and the overall student environment isn't the best. But it is definitely an above average school and has great resources. Has pretty good academic opportunities but could be better.

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.

This school is what you make of it. If you're a high-achieving, motivated student who wants to succeed, River Dell has the tools to take you far (the school has, for instance, produced several Ivy league students).

Race discrimination in this school is rampant. Minorities are continuously profiled, targeted and falsely accused by teachers and staff. Administrators turn a blind eye to the harassment and bullying most minority students have to endure while here. Administrators lie and cover up each other to cove...

I am a graduate of River Dell 1986 and my daughter is now a student. Who would ever thought. River Dell prepared me very well for life. I am a NYC trial lawyer doing just fine.
