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.

I have been attending Riverhead Charter School since my 8th grade year. From when I joined, the opportunities were endless, and the community was beyond exceptional. My high school experience at Riverhead Charter was tedious, but the staff prepared me for college in ways that I don't think any other school can. The teachers, guidance counselors, deans, principals, etc are so hands on with their work, and are very involved with their students' outcomes. They work vigorously to ensure that their students understand their material and are prepared for testing. I initially did not want to attend this school, as I believed it would have to be an adjustment that I was not willing to make, but I was quickly proven wrong. I am beyond grateful that my parents made this decision for me to attend this school, and would not want it any other way.

I am very happy to have the opportunity to attend a school like Riverhead charter school I love the staff they have greatly impacted my high school experience they are all so nice and very helpful and they believe in us. One of the downsides is not having as many opportunities as public schools we have 170 students in our school so the space is small but we make it work.
