Best school that I ever went to. My previous school was a living hell, what an upgrade. The teachers are so supportive, and I’ve actually wanted to go to school.

Our two kids (grades 1 & 3) started at Riffenburgh in 202, right in the middle of the Covid pandemic. Not gonna lie, the first few months of school were challenging, but the teachers and staff went to every extra length to make even the biggest challenges a learning experience. Now that kids are back in full-time, I couldn't be more pleased with Riffenburgh. My kids have amazing, personable teachers who really go the extra mile for their learning (one child is on the gifted spectrum and needs more challenging work, my other child requires extra reading and math support). In both cases, each kids' needs are catered to accordingly. I won't name names, but one daughter has a first-grade teacher who should get a massive gold trophy on her shelf for how much she has done not only for my child, but the whole class. My kids go to school happy, feeling loved and appreciated, and are getting an excellent education. Wonderful place.

The principal Don Kotnik is not very good. That's why this school scores so low! He likes his teachers to only sit behind a laptop only showing slides! No hands-on, no creativity, no other form of teaching! His teachers also don't always treat the students with respect.
