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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Riley is a very small close-knit community. Everyone is kind and genuine. Coming in as a new student freshman year even the older kids were accepting. There is no judgment throughout.

I love how I know all of my classmates by name and they all know me. The faculty are friendly and helpful; they earnestly want to help their students. The only thing I think my school needs to work towards fixing, is our funding problem. Luckily, on November 5, 2019, we will begin voting on whether or not we would like to implement a new bond for the school. If the bond goes through, many of the school's issues will be solved. These issues include: leaking roofs, broken heating system, problems with the plumbing and more.
