Rio Vista Elementary School

I am a proud parent of 2 Rio Vista Elementary students. Without the teachers and staff at this school my boys would not continue flourish in the academic manner that they have. I have been a Rio Vista Parent for 7 years and feel SO fortunate to have my children taught by the teachers and staff that have dedicated themselves to this school. This is a school with heart, pride, and compassion. They give their all to my children and all the children that are on campus. Parent involvement is also a crucial factor and the teachers and staff are highly supportive and very welcoming to particiapting parents. If their is a sole that has a bad word to say about Rio Vista Elementary, then they need to become an active part of their child's education, because they are obviously not taking advantage of the knowledgable teachers and staff that Rio Vista employs.

How can people rate this school as good? The reports from the Star testing are out and it's rated the 4th worst school in the Saugus School District. The 4th WORST out of 15?? Numbers don't lie! Why would you send your kid here? My daughter had 3 yes 3 second grade teachers in one year! How can that be? I was sent a note home after the new teachers had already been teaching? How is that great leadership? This school is a joke! It's a school with poor leadership and poor teachers. 4th worst in the district!! The numbers do no lie! So how could all these parents keep saying what a wonderful school this is? It's mired in problems! Hahaha send you kid here so they can be in the 4th worst school in the district!! and look!! all the parents say it's the best! Thanks but no thanks 8 teachers left last year, 3 different teachers in one year and the 4th worst in the district out of 15! Thank god we moved is all I am saying! Do everything you can to NOT send you kid to this welfare school!!

I cant believe anyone would have anything bad to say about this school. Once you are here, you never want to go anywhere else. Rio Vista Rocks, the teachers are Great!, the principal is Great!, the PTA is Great!, and the parental involvement is Great! We have had hard times, but there has always been a solution. This is truely where the best kids go...

Rio Vista is Great I've a daughter who had a great experience with her teachers and staff and now I have a son who is having a great time also. The teachers are strong, the school has a very strong PTA, and the Principal and Vice Principal are very intrested in keeping the kids on tract in their education. Rio Vista is the Best.

I think this school rates at a 10. All three of my kids have been to this school (over the last 9 years) and the teachers and administrators go above and beyond to make sure the kids have the best environment to learn and excel. They have a high parental involvement and a very active PTA. This site's rating of a 6 is very misleading when you consider everything Rio Vista has to offer and provides to all of their students.

Although my child is in her first year, so far I am impressed by her teacher and the overall ability to learn due to the high parent involvement in my daughters class. I hope that all the teachers are as great as her first one.

I have had 3 children at Rio Vista. Overall, our families experience has been good. I did have problem with the a couple of teachers in the past as well as the previous principal, but that has resolved. Overall, however, I do believe the majority of these teachers are very good and work hard to provide a good education for our kids.
