Riverglades Elementary School

This school has the best teachers that are there for their students and a great office staff. My son has been there from Kindergarten and now in 5th Grade and my daughter started Kindergarten this year and they both have teachers that truly love being teachers and have the gift of making a difference.

I am going on my 6 year at RE, and have 8 more to go! By far this is a community school, you feel part of it all! The communication is great! The PTA is a good organization and allows for parents to be involved.

The teachers at Riverglades challenge the students and themselves to excel. Most parents are involved in the school and you feel a great spirit of cooperation towards common goals. The principal is outstanding and so are the counselors. I've had 2 of my children attend this wonderful school.

We moved to Parkland from New England last year. This is a wonderful and compassionate school. I have one daughter now in 4th grade and it has been a fantastic experience for her and a very smooth transition from the Rhode Island school system. Her teacher last year was phenomenal and this year, again, she has an amazing teacher. - Thank you Riverglades!

I have 3 children, so I've known the school, teachers and staff for 8 years now and I am very happy with the school. There is always room for improvement, but in my experience, all of the teachers (and I've dealt with 13 of them so far) have been wonderful to my children and my perception is that they genuinely care for them, and they have done job teaching them.

This school definitelly does not live up to the hype. While the teachers seem to be good, the office staff is cold and unhelpful at best like some other parent said. Also the classes are crowded and parking is limited. If you are thinking of moving to parkland for the schools don't. Your child would do much better in a private school.

My son has attended this school for 3 years and we have been pleased. I believe more could be done with the yard and area where the children play and have pe. They unfortunately have to be in the hot pavement or weed covered grass without any shade. With the donations this school recieves I would think they could improve that. Otherwise, they have some wonderful programs and after school events children and family attend. Teachers caring and very willing to work with the parents as a team.

If you want a school that teaches to the test and has larger class sizes, this is your school. The only score that counts is reading and in 4th grade, writing. The parent involvement is amazing, the teachers care, but the administration is quite cold and ungrateful. It is not optimum learning environment.
