Riverview High School

first off students do not have to share books teh only time they do is when they are irresponsibble and lose four or five of them. Riverview is a great school and every one was assigned there own books

I have a grandson, attending Riverview in 9Th.grade, who tells me the students have to share books because there is not enough to go around to each student. My ? is why. I do not think this is a good situation for the kids. I would like to know what can be done about this. I do think that the teachers are trying to do their best to educate the children.

I have a child in the 10th grade, who can be a hand full, at Riverview H.S. and I would just have to say that the school has been great over the years! Obviously the students seem to have an issue with the Principle, so he must be doing an amazing job! Honestly from the few times I have been around him, he seems to be very professional and straight forward(not in a rude way). He is older, but really seems to care a lot about the kids. The teachers in meeting with them, seem to really care about my child's grades and future. Great sports and academic school!

I am a student at riverview. i am in the 11th grade. most of the teachers are exceptional. the new principle is a horrible principle. i mean the old principle made an attempt to get to know students but the new one just stands there in the halls. they need to get the old one back! but other than that i love it. Both senior boys and girls are going to state. And Riverview is hosting it! their facilities are great!

I graduated from Riverview in 2003. I think the school has a great learning envirnoment, but I am surprised at the turn over of te teachers. Since I graduated 3 yrs ago almost all the teacher that taught me have left to go to surrounding area schools. All the school is lacking is a little stablity. I believe this will come with age.

I was a Graduate of Riveriview in 2002 and i have been told that Riverview has really stepped it up in the past few years and are continuing to make an impact on the students that attend it. i'm not sure why the 9th grade student that wrote a review talked so disrespectfully of the staff and principal. i was very pleased with the staff and the responsibility of the teachers and help i received while at Riverview. With the help of Riverview i am now attending Radiology Imaging school at UAMS along with a few other of my classmates from high school.

The quality of teaching is above average at Riverview High School. There is a positive learning environment for students. The principal and counselors are dedicated to the success of all students.

I am a student at Riverview High School currently in the 9th grade. I dislike the principal because he doesn't seem to play the correct role as the principal. A few of the teachers have a bad habit of ignoring the students' opinions and only listening to one side of a story. Also, they obviously don't provide safety for the students either since how the school was broken into not too long ago. Besides the principal and the favoratism, this school has good academics and very good extracurricular activities. Actually, our senior boy basketball team made it to state and hasn't stopped yet.

Hello, I am a Parent of 2 kids that goes to Riverview. It is an outstanding learning enviroment for my childern. My childern, who are in grades 10th and 5th love to go to school here. I've never seen a staff that works so hard just to make these kids enjoy learning and coming to school. Even though are 10th graders did not score so high. I think this school is one of the best in the state. I think Riverview still has not seen it's best days yet but I will promise something postive is going to happen in the next of couple of years. I have no doubt that riverview could beat any school in the state.
