Riverton highschool is a great place, from its sports to its teaching. Not everything is great though the food kinda sucks the teachers are nice but some aren't very good at teaching from having none qualified people teaching to people who don't care

Some of the teachers are great. You can tell that they love what they do and enjoy being there. Some of the teachers shouldnt be teacher rather that they are old and dont know whats happening or that they just dont want what they are talking about. The administration is not good at their job and they haven't been able to keep a guidance counselor to save there life.

I am very satisfied with the majority of teachers at Riverton High School. Most of them are very supportive and amazing at teaching their students. What I would like to see change is the general stigma within the school that students from our school won't even try to "reach for the stars" or leave Wyoming.
