35 Parent Reviews for Riverside Drive Elementary School

Academics are good unfortunately discipline leaves something to be desired. If you don't mind your children being injured and un-cared for it' s a great school. It is near next to impossible to get any administration to help you. hopefully the new administration will bring great positive changes.

I think the new principal (Ms. Briscoe) is great. She is an excellent leader, good listener, she has the respect of the teaching staff and is a very good collaborator. Riverside is a much more positive campus since she took over.

Academic programs are above average. There are music prgrams and great parent involvement. Currently, leadership is weak.
