I felt like I was racially profiled there. Especially by the front office.

The new principal, Principal Crews is the best! She knows every student, their family, and cares deeply about them and the staff. The teachers also really appreciate how she has come in and taken charge, advocating for them and their needs. And the teachers are dedicated and the hardest workers you’ll find. We have had three sets of teachers and they are all truly phenomenal. Finally, the parent involvement is getting stronger each year. This year, they created a new Earth Day celebration and it was a resounding success, raising funds for the school and building community. I hope to see this school continue to skyrocket!!

I went to Riverside for 2 years and it was very nice. All the teachers were amazing and it was a nice environment. We are a bit underfunded and it shows, but there is a lot of good at this school. However, I have heard that this year there has been an increase in behavioral issues. I can only speak from my personal experiences but I did really enjoy this school

My daughter was so excited and proud to be accepted into the full time AAP program and start 3rd grade at Stratford. What we didn't account for with the transfer was an hour long bus ride in each direction, teaching methods that were much more technology heavy than our base school, and a yearlong feeling of disconnect from what she was learning in the classroom. Over the course of the entire school year, my daughter didn't bring home a single spelling test, worksheet, or graded paper or test... one of the key ways parents can monitor progress and ciricculum. We never saw an art project, or any project for that matter. It's wild that in 3rd grade students can be pushed onto computers so heavily that there is no tangle parts of their education that come home. My daughter boards the bus at 8:05 each morning, and get's dropped off at 5pm each evening... for a standard school day. We have participated in most every major school event, I've volunteered in the classroom and chaparoned school trips, but I never felt that my interaction with other parents or staff members was sincere... it was a big let down. The school lacks warmth. We were expecting something spectacular, and were met with mediocre. Needless to say the transfer forms have been filed.
