Both of my kids go to RPDS. It is a great school with a focus on academics, community, and enrichment. We were at 2 different A rated public schools and they are merely shuffling kids through a system. Both of our kids are gifted and talented and were bored and under challenged at the public schools.

We were a part of RPDS for the 07-08' school year. If your child has any type of learning disability this is not the school for you. Let's just say we had a 'HORRIBLE' year. We are now in a public school and thriving.

As a refugee from the completely inadequate Jacksonville public school system, I cannot emphasize my pleasure in enrolling my child here mid-year. The school is accountable, nurturing and enriching. The staff is understanding, efficient and well-trained. The only bad thing is the tuition but you

I expected a clique/caste/class system in this environment and have been more than pleasantly surprised to find this is not the case. All parents here appear to have one goal: to educate and enrich their child's educational experience. This school provides what is severely lacking in the public schools, even the so-called A schools are sub-par in comparison. If you are on the fence about a private school, I cannot recommend this one enough. Read less

This will be our 4th year at RPDS. We feel fortunate to be part of the Riverside family. 'Private schools' are stigmatized as elitist or exclusive, but Riverside is quite the opposite. The school benefits from its central location in the city, and attracts families from all walks of life who share

As in any school, there are issues that need to be addressed. At Riverside, the Headmaster, faculty and guidance work hard to ensure students and parents alike are comfortable bringing those issues to the table. While the student is the number one priority at Riverside, RPDS is a family. RPDS does a wonderful job of holding on to tradition while exploring new educational ideas and techniques. We love RPDS!
