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.

Our child is at Riverside School as part of the autistic program. It is a great program and you don't have to live near Riverside to participate. In fact we live in Littlebrook, which our kids love because we can walk to town, Littlebrook School, Witherspoon and Princeton High and not have to cross Nassau. Both elementary schools are outstanding for different reasons but we wouldn't trade living in Littlebrook for any other part of town due to its nearness to downtown and town schools.

The principal is awful and school staff awfully rude. If you have a chance don't even think about it

Agree with the previous review. There is not a lot of support for students, who are ahead of the curriculum (with the exception of Mr Eastburn, who is great!) Another issue I have is that while officially you can't ask for a particular teacher for the next grade, many people do it behind the curtain...

Services for average and special...
