"Close to 50 and 80, but there are only a few ways in and out of River Park, so it can take 10 minutes to get out of the neighborhood. "

"After spending 12 years in the heart of LA, River Park felt like a breath of fresh air 17 years ago. We brought our two young children to Sacramento for a change of lifestyle and fell in love with the area. The neighborhood is convenient to Sacramento State University, Mercy, Sutter and UC Davis Medical Centers, as well as public transit. The central location to the American River and bike trail are nice, as are the well attended public pool, tennis courts, soccer and baseball fields showing me there is a sense of community. I love the mix of young families to retirees. It is fun seeing the Fourth of July parade of kids riding bikes and trikes down the street followed by the fireworks viewing in the evening on the levee. This is an all around great spot to put roots down. "

"One of the best kept secrets in Sacramento. 4th of July parades, little league and bobby sox are big deals, take evening walks without worry. Tree lined streets lined with azaleas in the spring. American River Parkway adjacent to area, with direct access to Ameridan River for beaches, steelhead and salmon fishing, and just nature hikes. You will not find a more pleasant area in all of Sacramento"

This school does not do a great job educating all children equally. While compared to many schools in the district it is not a bad school they still fail children that are different. Unfortunately the principal lacks any sense of responsibility for the failings of the school. There isn’t the emotional maturity to look at what is happening and look for ways to improve.If your child is in special education in this school expect them to receive inadequate and infrequent services. Expect the IEP not to be followed. Expect them to continue to pat themselves on the back about how great their school is while failing to meet the child’s needs. It could be a great school if they viewed all children as equal, important and part of the community. Sadly, that is not the case. The caliber of staff varies as it does in any school, for the upper grades their is one particularly odious RSP teacher so pay close attention to what is going on with your child. She is not a kind person or someone that is good at their job.
