The K-8 education that students receive at Riverdale is unmatched by any other public school in the area. The low class sizes and incredible time and energy spent by caring teachers and staff makes Riverdale's test scores skyrocket. I can't say enough about how happy my children have been at this school.

Riverdale has provided a unique educational experience for my children. The size of the school enables children to be seen and pushed to work to their highest abilities. The teachers are caring and involved in each of the student's academic lives. Parent support of our incredible faculty through volunteer hours and donations help make Riverdale a top school.

Riverdale has been great for my 3 kids. Small class sizes, great teachers and high expectations in all grades. Riverdale is also a really supportive and nice community. Lots of parent involvement in and outside the school.

Riverdale is a fantastic school… it’s the kind of school you imagine your kids going to when you think of the best case scenario.
