It is quite good. Everything is great about it other than the cafeteria which is okay at best. The school deserves to be ranked number 2 in the state because of the high quality of education and the high standards at the school
3/24/2019
Riverwatch deserves to be the best school in the state. There is a diverse culture that you feel as soon as you walk into the school. There are top-notch academics here. All of the kids pitch in and do their best and their best is VERY high. Go Panthers!!

This demographic is mostly from highly strict...
