I am a 6th grade parent and so far Riverwood Middle has been a great school. My new 6th grader has adjusted well and I feel she has a great team of teachers that encourage and support her. She has has made wonderful new friends too.
It's ok, but i wish that they would tell us about things like when the eog's are instead of just the night before.
I love RMS and my child has had a good experience there. I do however feel that there is a serious lack of elective choices. This is not something the school has much control over though. I remember in middle school having the opportunity to take Spanish or German. The older students get the harder it is to learn a foreign language. RMS currently has no foreign language classes. The basic electives are band, chorus, creative writing, computer science and PE. I know Wake county has many problems with busing and trying to keep kids from the same families on the same year round track but I wish Johnston County would afford the same opportunities in elective choices to it's students. I don't think we should have to give up quality classes for quality of life.
My child is in 8th grade and has had a wonderful experience here. I have found the teachers and administrators to be excellent. The sports teams are various and represent the majority interest in sports in our area. There are also many community and private leagues and groups that offer extra opportunity to participate in other sports events and community service. For those who want to succeed and participate, the opportunities are clearly available. The academic teams are numerous and perform well on the regional and state level. We have found that all the needed components for overall success are clearly present. We have lived in the area many years and the students that graduate go on to some of the highest ranked public and private universities and colleges in the nation.
