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.

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.

Riverside has been my home for my entire life. I love the community and the school and all it has to offer. As a small school I loved that I knew everyone and also had good connections. I was super involved in both sports and extracurriculars. Overall Riverside is where I learned to grow as a person and has shaped me into the student I am today.
