I like to give to this school -5. This school CURRENTLY has;>LACK OF DISCIPLINE >SELFISH STAFF and PARENTS>STAFF NOT LEADING BY EXAMPLE< >UNHELPFUL WHEN YOU NEED INFORMATION>MOST PARENTS ARE VERY HOSTILE AT SCHOOL GROUND AND DON'T FOLLOW SCHOOL RULES. >> kids with BAD BEHAVIOR doesn't have consequences when they do something, completely unsafe for responsible and respectful kids. MECKLENBURG COUNTY SCHOOL can do more about this specific school, but unfortunately THE STAFF, including teachers and most parents don't have the will to do what is right, not only for the school, for the entire community too. >>My kids came from a school 9/10, and the difference between the previous school and SOUTHWEST MIDDLE SCHOOL is ASTRONOMICAL and unfortunately this school is DOING very bad. If I recommend SOUTHWEST MIDDLE SCHOOL? you will have a big NO....

Rivergate is WONDERFUL. I love the diversity and how many kids are native Spanish speakers, my child has gotten such an amazing early education. I’m 100% sure that’s why their test scores are not through the roof because the teachers work so hard to meet every student where they need to be met. The principal Ms. Johns is SUCH a special kind of person. With 800 kids she knows my child by name and always goes out of her way to say hello to both her and to me.

This school is a joke. There are pretty shocking things that go on at this school that I have to hear about through my kid and their friends... including a scary incident that involved police. I heard from other parents as well that they dont like to notify families unless they are forced to. I'm actively looking to get my kid transferred out.
