THIS IS A REVIEW BY A STUDENT I would highly recommend this school for 7th grade because the science and the math teachers taught me that science and math can be really fun. The next year, some 8th grade teachers are really bad at teaching their subject and on top of that one teacher hates me so much that I hate going to math class now. In 7th grade math used to be really fun but in 8th grade math is really stressful. That's the reason why please go to this school for only 7th grade and don't even think about going to this school if you are an indian. Thank you for reading.

Middle school is never good but I feel like things could have been handled better here. The dress code/treatment of girls vs. boys was especially annoying and sad to see in a middle school that was supposed to be one of the bests in the district. I think it has improved since I went there, regarding that principle, but it was hard when I went to school feeling good about my appearance then having a teacher tell me it wasn't appropriate just because I was wearing leggings, which are too form-fitting somehow. The food wasn't that great either. However, some of the best teachers I've ever had taught there (Mr. Thurber, Mr. Jackson) so I will say that they do know how to pick their staff.

Riverside is awesome. The people who work there are great at what they do. My 7th grade science teacher taught us about a lot of neat things, and I still remember a lot of it. The classes there aren't boring (at least to me), and that's because of the teachers, too. They include things in certain cl...
