Some qualities that I like about my school is that its very easy to talk with the teachers they are very, connected with the students. There is always at least one teacher that you can trust to talk about personal life with. One part that I don't like as much is that since its a very small school there aren't too many electives to choose from. Something that I would like to change about the school are the athletics , I would love to bring more money to the athletic side of the school.

As a junior at Riverdale High School, I'd say that this school is great for agricultural careers, the counselors are also very sociable with the student body. School spirit may be low but spirit weeks and rallies are always fun here.
