Riverdale Senior High school is considered one of the best schools in my area. There are things that could've been better, of course- there was a lack of AP classes and foreign language classes, probably due to the low population in our rural area. However, Riverdale provided me with a great education and a generally accepting community, and I feel thoroughly prepared for college.

Riverdale High School has is all around a good school. They do a great job preparing students for college. There are many classes offered for students to choose from and good teachers to help you along the way. Something Riverdale High School does lack in is the diversity in the students and teachers. Overall adding in more diversity is something that would be a positive change to our school.

The teaching staff at Riverdale is very dedicated to their jobs. They want what's best for all of the students. The staff also make sure that they are keeping Riverdale a positive learning space. As a student, I enjoy going to school and learning. I love the group of kids that are around me daily. Granted I have had some mishaps with teasing or bullying. I have dealt with racism however, the situations have been handled well.

This school is not good with diversity. The teachers don't handle bullying well at all. They let it happen right in front of everyone and don't intervene unless they are told about a complaint (which takes a lot of complaining). Many of the administration seem very oblivious to the bad things that h...
