Riverton Schools have went down hill. The current principle is all show and not there for the kids. The kids fall through the cracks and the counselors could care less. I suggest that you go to another school if you want a well rounded education for your child. Bullying seems to be a real issue. There are very few teachers left that truly care about the kids.

I attended Riverton Schools in the 60's. My grandaughter has attended Riverton since she started school. I find that Riverton has a great school. The administration will assure that students that require help in all phases of their acedemic life receive it. I appreciate the fact that a students grades are sent to the parent, this assures we stay on top of grades before they get helplessly behind. Even an intelligent child can start having problems such as my grandchild is now. Riverton must be a great school, there are a lot of children being brought from out of district to attend. Keep up the good work.

I can remember my children going to Riverton back 13 [to] 14 years ago and now my grandchildren go there, I think that it is the most ridiculous school around. I hate the fact that they have to go there.

About the tests

In 2011-2012 Kansas used the Kansas State Assessments (KSA) to test students in grades 3 though 8, 11 and 12 in reading and math; in grades 4, 7, 11 and 12 in science; and in grades 6, 8 and 12 in history-government. The tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Kansas. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
