We had a great experience at Riverdale Baptist this last school year. My son participated in middle school sport, and he was on the principal's honor roll all year. The teachers and administration were supportive and responsive to any issue or need that I had. Middle school can be a challenging time, but my son excelled this year in all areas, including social interactions.

I am parent of current Kindergartner at RBS, so my child started their first year of school, online. I started...

I attended RBS five years through middle school and high school. While I struggled with grades due to ADD, I had many teachers and staff who encouraged me and assisted in my learning. Even through our 2020 year (Covid and all) RBS had us prepared to keep learning from the beginning of the pandemic....
