Honestly I feel like I was tricked came to the school to do the walk-through and my daughter started her ninth grade here last year and the campus is beautiful and big. So I thought this was going to be a great environment for her. But every other day there’s videos of fights they even have an instagram page where both students and staff are caught sleeping in class. I have had to deal with the incompetent staff no set up for guidelines and policies lack of staff lack of transportation my daughter spent half of her 10th grade year failing classes because teachers weren’t grading assignments that were giving on days that they weren’t in school she went through her first quarter with only half of her teachers in multiple days of either not having a ride home from school or not having a ride to school I have come to pick my daughter up on multiple occasions and given different times for when I can pick her up from school which is a major inconvenience when you’re trying to let them actually stay for part of the class and pick them up before two which is the time that is stated but when the office doesn’t feel like dealing with it they’ll tell you you can’t pick up your child I am sick of schools that have rules and guidelines for children to follow in order for them to be successful but the adults don’t have to follow the same thing the school is all front all full of all looks if you care anything about your child education do not send them to Knightdale high school!!!!

I would not recommend any parent send their child to this school. There is very minimum teacher engagement beyond the classroom, this school does not keep the parents involved and the teachers are just there. Not to mention there is absolutely no engagement from the principal outside of an email. The students are not being taught from teacher that no how to teach and the teacher roll over is extremely high. This elementary school is an embarrassment!

My grandchild is going to this school this year. He has been subjected to bullying ,cussing like sailors and being beat up. The teachers and the principal seem to be oblivious to all the cussing and fighting and bullying. One boy even told my grandchild that he was going to rape somebody in the behind!There seems to be alot of sexual talk as well, which I think is too much for 6th graders to even comprehend!My grandchild is not raised in this kind of environment. He comes from a two-parent home of educated parents and he lives in that neighborhood and my grandchild is having a hard time in the classroom because of all the negative noise these other kids are making. The neighborhood is a newer one and 95% of the homes are homeowners. What I'm hearing is 90% of the students at Riverbend Middle School don't even live in this area. All I can say is shame on the principal and teachers for allowing an A student to be a D student in math because the adults cannot control their school.
