Everything in the school learning, teaching is Excellent

In 13 years, we've had 2 kids there for a total of 8 of those 13 years and we love it. Ms. Goodwin (principal) is a real one who cares about her students, teachers/staff, and community.

getting to call myself a riverdale warrior is truly an honor. you will never see more passionate students about their school than riverdale’s. at pep rallies, you will never see someone not having a good time, or not doing the chants. especially at football or basketball games, the students are constantly cheering on their team. all of the teachers make you feel genuinely cared for and understood. principal blair and the other vice principals are extremely kind and appreciative of all their students, teachers and staff. if you have the opportunity to, send your child to riverdale, they will have the best high school experience!

Parent of 3kids. I WOULDN’T recommend this school to my worse enemy. They would make your babies last few year of being a kid a living HELL! If your child has special needs such as ADHD or ADD and has a 504/IEP this isn’t the school for you. I have battled with this school for my son 2 years now. From the time my kid walks through those doors it’s straight hell. Staff does not follow legally binding documents such as a 504, admin staff is only one sided and does not care to hear a child’s side of the story, principals are the same. The only two principals that let you speak and obtains the full story before making their judgements are Mr. Butler and Dr. Parker. The write ups are crazy and stupid at times, you will get written up for even looking wrong. I have spoken with many parents that have kids attending this school and thought maybe my child is bad. Nope! That’s what RMS wants you to believe but we all realize it’s the admin staff because we all have the complaints/concerns. Don’t bother calling, leaving voicemails or writing principle Newberry because you will not hear back from her or even care to address situations until it turns into a bigger issue. If your child goes here PLEASE investigate situations before disciplining them. 99.9% of the time it’s not what happened and don’t let the staff get away with how they treat our kids. The school nurse has a nasty attitude and does NOT care about her students, she speaks to parents very unprofessionally and clearly hates her job! I will give credit to very few teachers (10%) that works with parents, has that line of communication and truly loves teaching and isn’t there because they have to be. Along with some admin staff such as Mrs. Cleghorne who has a sweet and caring soul and would do anything to help her babies.
