My son has enjoyed being at this school. I feel he is able to reach his goal for success with the teachers here at this school. They seem to care and be there for the children. The teachers do an excellent job in preparing the children for sols and tests. They also do well in helping the children gain self esteem, prepare for everyday situations and become independent. The teachers always seem to have smiles on in the hallways or classrooms when you walk by. The staff seem wonderful. The ladies in the office always seem polite on the phone. The Principal and Vice Principal have made this school a safe and healthy environment for the children. I would recommend Riverdale Elementary School, Courtland,Va. I Love this school and the teachers and staff.

"There is dogs galore. A dog grooming place is actually near downtown. People are friendly and the dogs are nice too. I honestly can’t say much about people picking up behind their dogs because I don’t go out much but when I do people do pick up behind their dogs. "
