Why Riley? Even though Riley is right in the middle of the SouthSide of South Bend, It is an perfect rated school. My experience at riley so far has been amazing. The administration and staff faculties are very helpful, they ensure that us students are not only getting an education we need but to help us become overall successful. There can be some ups and downs throughout the year but because we have such a great support system they wil make sure we get the support we need . Its not only there job to teach us , but its also their job to keep us safe. To whom ever is reading this I hope you consider choosing Riley. #GOWILDCATS!!

I personally do not care for the school. Sadly, Clay closed so i had to transfer here. Not what I wanted but i'm mainly glad that there are wonderful teachers. It might not be the safest area but the good staff and learning experience makes up for it. My only complaint is that, I do not feel challenged.

My experience at Riley Highschool is amazing. I feel like everyone has different views on it for how much you're involved with the school, such as clubs and all of it. Teachers and staff are so supportive and great of every single student and the education is amazing when you put effort into it. There are so many opportunities if you really put yourself out there.
