I absolutely love the way that Riverheads gets you ready for college. They understand that even if you don't wanna go to college that they can place you with a company when you graduate. I love the sports here, they are put to a very high standard and I love that about the school. I just wish the food was a little bit better

My experience here is ok at best. Maybe it'll be a great school, I hope so. I don't want to be like.

I have loved every minute of being at Riverheads. From the teachers to the facilities from clubs to patent involvement. I couldn't ask for a better small town school
