GreatSchools Rating
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. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

As a graduate of Riverheads High School, I believe that it is a good school with high academic excellence. I believe there are things that could be improved such as college readiness and more resources through the counseling services to better prepare students on what to expect in college. I believe the homework and workload is nowhere near that of college and it would benefit future students if it were.

I got bullied a lot and not many teachers or staff did anything about it. It didn't start to get better until my junior year.

I am proud to go to this school and recommend it to anyone, regardless of their background. This is a place where you can achieve and grow.
