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.

Overall my time at this school was fine. I would like for them to switch up their lunch choices. They serve the same thing every week. I also wish they would remodel some of the buildings and classrooms.

I started at Riverdale High School in January 2023. My passion is music. Most of my classes were band classes. When I begin these classes I didn't know much about the instrument I was given. Thanks to my awesome, skillful teacher I have learn how to play three instruments. My band teacher told me he wished he had me for all four years because I was born for sharing music with the world. That I have a given talent for music. He taught me a lot in a short amount of time.

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