I'm a current sophomore and this is a pretty great school, in my opinion. There are numerous (about 100) different student clubs, organizations, and sports for all different walks of life. The teachers genuinely care for their students, and they are usually pretty flexible with due dates and are happy to help you out after/before school, during study halls, RPT, etc. There are SO, so many different classes. There are also many different career-readiness activities such as field trips to colleges, guest speakers, presentations every Monday, Xello, and many, many more. Safety is one of the top priorities as well. The student body is awesome as well; bullying is not as common at this school as you would see with others - there's a pretty popular Cool 2 Be Kind club too! The student-to-staff ratio is about 18:1 which is pretty good. Unfortunately, there aren't as many accelerated/honors classes available as in some other schools, and the GPA is unweighted; however, there are still some pretty decent opportunities. Overall, the school is super great in my opinion, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

I hated this place, it was a total hell for me. when I went there anything and everything that happen I was the first they looked at. This school does NOTHING about racism and is also sexist, my friend was called the N-word countless times even In-front of a teacher and nothing happened, they said I was making it worse. And if I actually do something, it resolves in a immediate ISS (In School Suspension) and a call to my parents which was 90% made up. Also when I was in ISS I was marked as a truant for all classes. They also refused to grade my assignments causing 30+ missing and I redone it ALL and my mom turned them in online, and no grade. I failed everything in this school because they don't do their jobs but now I'm in high school and I'm passing all classes, cannot be a coincidence. This school is awful do not put your kids through it.

River Cities gave my son hope when other schools couldn't. They helped him by coaching him personally, tailoring the educational program to his needs and caring about him. He graduated!
