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.

My experience with Riverdale highschool for the years I've been going here is interesting. Fights happen very often. The bathrooms are usually dirty. The students cause a lot of drama. The only clean rooms are the cafeteria, library;, and the front office. The students are very dirty. Besides that riverdale high school has great games.

The worst part of Riverdale is the students. The teachers are okay, the academics are alright, but the students can be the worst. Also, it is unfortunate there are only 7 ap class choices, they do not make them public either.

I actually think that the counselors at this school don't care about anything but receiving a pay check.
