Riverview High School

I am a current student at Riverview High School and can say the school has really slipped in the last few years. When I was in middle school a few years back, most students were doing great with keeping their grades up and keeping good behavior. Today, half of the senior class is missing credits and there are more fights and bomb threats than I have ever seen before at the school. If you move into the district, really consider talking to some of the current students that go to school here before making your kid put up with the unsatisfactory teachers and administration.

It's interesting the dates on the below-reviews; I think RHS was the school they describe but unfortunately has gone downhill considerably in the past 5 or so years. Yes there are great, bright kids who graduate and do well- but there are also way too many who slide through and come out woefully unprepared for the future. The environment is coarse (to put it nicely) and despite largely-bright, committed, and caring teachers... I would be hesitant to send my child here.

Riverview is a small school with a big heart for their students. My daughter graduated in 2004 with honors and they helped set the foundation for her future. Mr.Rosenberg, the principal at that time, would stand at the door in the morning and greet every child with their name and some praise. Where else do you see that happen? The teachers followed his lead. That gave the students the knowledge that they cared for them and it showed in the way the children progressed in their studies and everyday living. Out of 89 graduating students that year almost half of them were honor or high honor student and almost half into sports or extracurricular activites. I grew up in a inner city school and could only wish that all children would have the opportunity that Riverview provides. I Applaud Them!

Riverview High School provides a 'private school' atmosphere due to small class sizes. My son has been able to participate in the music program as well as take advance level courses to his benefit. There are many teachers who are excellent and provide excellent service to the student population. I am generally pleased with his educational program but would like to see more opportunities available for all students who show interest in their education.

I have been to many schools and this school was by far the best. The teacher-student environment is wonderful. It is a small school, which allow teachers have a better relationship with their students. The Riverview High School faculty go out of their way to help students. This school also has high testing scores and have won awards in the past. Additionally, Riverview's Key Club is very active and has one many awards. To sum it all up Riverview School District is a friendly, helping, active school environment that will lead your child into the right path.

I could not imagine a more caring envirnoment than Riverview High School. The teachers were not only excellent in the classroom but were personal and became good friends of mine. I feel like Riverview prepared me for college better than most of my college classmates' high schools did - and the majority of them went to private academies. Overall, its a great place. Yes, course selection can be limited due to its size, but with such individual attention paid to students, any detriments are made up for ten fold.

small school, caring teachers, seems overwehlmed at times, for small school all students participate in extracurriculer activities so activities are not cancelled due to lack of participants.

This school is a great place for your kids to go if you want them to get excellent education from excellent educators! The teachers are extremely nice to all their kids and never have any complaints about them!
