Riverview Stem Elementary

They have wonderful and dedicated teachers at this school. They truly care and support their students!

I went to Riverview in its first six years as an STEM school, from 2014-2020. Don't get me wrong, this is a great school. But if you are a parent who is considering sending their children here, I ask you to read all that I have to say. Riverview STEM was made so it could be a school for smart children from Rancho Cordova. And that's what it was, for three or so years. I wasn't old at all when I found out that Folsom schools weren't allowing Rancho students to attend. But I was old enough to know what it meant. Recently, I found out that almost all Riverview students are from Folsom these days. And it saddens me to know that Folsom parents, who have a wealth of good schools to choose from, are having their children take up spots at Riverview, our best school. Thank you for reading.

My daughter has been attending Riverview STEM for two years now. From kinder through first. She enjoys every day of school and is sad to stay home when she is sick. Her teachers have fought for services she needs like speech and OT, and they have handled her quarks with compassion and with an eye to resolving any issues. My kiddo has an IEP and I feel like she is getting the services she needs and is thriving despite some barriers. I am so glad we landed at this school.

This school is AMAZING! They have a wonderful curriculum and outstanding teachers at every grade level.

My kids are traumatized and worse off mentally from their time here. The teachers checked out entirely during the pandemic, literally yelled (yes. Yelled) at the students during zoom calls when the teachers were too technologically inept to realize the problem were their own internet issues, and just didn’t care enough to communicate anything to parents. Last day of school my second grader was left crying since his teacher didn’t care enough to tell him it was a fun water game day at the school & she didn’t bother to call in for any long distance learners. That is shameful shameful behavior in a grown adult, especially one who is supposedly trained in child development and education. The only awesome teacher there is Ms. Lockhart in 3rd grade; if your child doesn’t have her as their teacher , run away as fast as you can!
