my child goes to riverside elem,and its a terrific school and i cannot be more happier.the teachers are caring and willing to help your child when it is needed.the busses are clean and the drivers are respectful to the students.the special ed teacher,mrs fyke is the greatest she is willing to help your child at any time or day.we need more teachers like her when i went to school.i graduated from riverdide high in 1992,it was a terrific school then and is now.But the school needs is to add art to the elem curricular and they need a band for the football games is the only problem they have,but otherwise they are the best public school in washington county.parents help out alot at this school.great job, mrs.avis.
