Riverside High School is one of many schools that put their student goals before there own, I have a child that attends the school and when he has any type of academic problems the teachers there jump at the change to show him how to do it and they don't quit until he understands. The principal (including

Read more the assistant principals) together with the security in that school makes a parent feel very secure about having their kids there, they assure you (and make good on their words) that your child will be safe. The extracurricular activities there is phenomenal, the kids there can learn anything from music to construction, you can't be bored. When my husband went there back in 1990 there was alot of Ranger pride and now, over 10 years later we still have that same pride! Read less

I graduated from here, was accepted into the college of my choice (NOT UTEP) and I am performing well in college. RHS is NOT a low performing school, as many people might think. We have one of the best Speech and Debate Teams, and our Chemistry Olympics team constantly brings the first prizes in
