Riverdale, like other affluent school districts, receives strong support from parents who are actively involved in everything from occasional major events to day-to-day activities. My two children are neurodivergent, and I was so impressed with how involved and supportive the staff is. One of my children is in the 99th percentile for his age, and they have been so patient and wonderful with him. He feels loved and supported despite feeling restricted by the requirements of the public school system. There are plenty of after-school activities, from French to yoga and crafts, but I can't speak to those because my kids have never participated in them. However, it is also on you to speak up if there are any issues. You can't be an absentee parent there or anywhere else. It shouldn't be something to mention, but some parents expect to drop their kids off at the best school and not do any work. All in all, there is a good reason Riverdale is the #1 best school in Oregon, as well as probably the only one in the Portland area with budgetary problems. I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else.
