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.

I have gained many new acquaintances. The school clubs were really enjoyable. I do wish the busses get a better schedule for the after school kids.

I think Riverhead has a good education and well-rounded teachers. The school is well known for how diverse it is. Also, they take action in situations. I like this school but it is crowded.
