My daughter transferred here in the sixth grade and it has been the best decision that I have ever made. She has blossomed and become the very best that she can be. The thing that Riverhill does best is to allow your child to your child. They encourage them to be themselves, whether they are funny,

Perhaps they do not have everything you think you need, extremely competitive sports being the big thing with many, but the warm, caring, happy environment is like nothing I have ever seen. We LOVE this school! Bebe Ray Read less

What a great place to be! My daughter transfered to Riverhill in 5th grade from another great school. The staff, principal, children, and parents could not have been any nicer and more helpful.

She never wants to miss a day of school because each day brings new surprises and new challenges for her. Most of all, this school offers more of a 'hands on' type of learning. Everything is taught from the 'doing' perspective, rather than simply reading about it! This has made all the difference in the world. I would highly recommend Riverhill to anyone who wants to get that little bit more out of their early education. Thanks! Read less
