In an economic time where more budget cuts are coming, the best you can hope for right now is teachers who truly care and a Principal who wants their school to succeed. You get both here. We are choiced in to Riverdale because of these 2 things. We may not have the shiniest and newest options/supplies, but my kid is safe, learning every day and most importantly, wants to go to school. He has pride in himself and his school and respects his fellow students and all school staff. We know the staff is a family and there to help.
We 'choiced' our son into Riverdale two years ago. He suffers from ADHD... and, often has a hard time with directions. Each teacher that he has had have worked very hard with him and have been very communicative with us (parents). The principal, Mr. Terril, is beyond what I would've ever expected.... he is truly an amazing and caring person. They have a fantastic music and physical eduction program. This staff truly cares about the students and are diligent in keeping them safe while at school. I love the staff and the fact that I am always getting constant feedback on his progress or where he might need help. I feel very well supported at Riverdale.
Some Excellent teachers teach here. The physical education program is outstanding as well as the music instruction.
Riverdale elementary is a great school. I've had nothing but great experiences as a parent at this school. The staff members are always in touch with their student and parents.Even if your child is not in their classroom . The principal is a great person he makes you feel that your children are safe. They make an effort to get to know the parents as well as the students. I love this school and the staff at Riverdale elementary.
I love that my daughter is at Riverdale. I have had nothing but positive experiences with all the personel from teachers, to lunchroom staff. My daughter loves it also!
Riverdale is a great school, I just wish they would offer more programs for their gifted students.
