South River is a Blue Ribbon School and among other excellent ones, it is the most prestigious. Yes the school is becoming very crowded, but its respectability is still entact. With a new principal, dress codes are enforced more. Last year smoke alarms were installed into every bathroom; smoking is
... Read more not tolerated in our school, we DO prohibit it. The class of 2007, in which I belong, is graduating with less than 500 students. The teachers are for the most part very kind and do whatever they can for the benefit of their students. Extra curricular activities help provide for a more well-rounded student. Discipline can and should be stricter. Overall, my experience at South River has been very enjoyable and though there are people who (in)volunarily taint the name, the staff and students try to compensate it in many other ways. Read less

South River is a good school. But, I believe that it is becoming over populated. In 2001 the graduating class had about 300 kids, in 2007 there will be almost 700 students in the graduating class.

And, because of this the math testing scores have gone down. But, South River cares about its students.And, if you are an involved parent it seems to make a difference, but honestly that is the case no matter where you send your child! This school to me is JUST how it is rated slightly above average. Read less

South River is a great school! Students are offered an atmosphere inspired by art (murals in the school) and teachers who care. It's true that not all the teachers are amazing, but there are some who truly inspire students. The school is overcrowded, but that makes things more fun to get through. Students

Dress code needs to be enforced. Smoking tobacco and pot in bathrooms is allowed. School needs administration to allow more school spirit. A bond does not exist between administration, staff, and students. Poor moral exists.
