They don't let kids inside when it's raining and they don't let them inside unless it is 20 degrees yet they want children to not get sick and have perfect attendance.
Posted by a parent on 10/28/2025My son is in 1st grade and has been attending Riverdale since he was in preschool. All of his teachers have been great and have had good communication with me about my son. My son has nothing but kind things to say about the students and the rest of the staff that he interacts with. I would recommen
Posted by a parent on 4/18/2024My kiddo has been here for a couple years and has REALLY flourished in this school setting. All the teachers love him and he them, he comes home with great stories about his friends and teachers.

Posted by a parent on 4/7/2023Years now. Since I was little this school has had a problem with bullies and support system and now my kids are dealing with the same thing. I am about to take it to the media and so much more but I'm just getting as much as I can on them. I don't recommend this school if you are wanting

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Averagei went here from 05-07 as a kid and this school was by far the worst school I've ever encountered. They do nothing about bullying, and i have asthma and when i asked the nurse for my inhaler she declined to give it to me. I remember my mom cussing at her for like 15 minutes. She did not care. If i could give this school a 0 i would. You're better off sending your kid to Africa to get his education than this failure of a school community, and from the other reviews I saw they never changed their way i would recommend cherry drive elementary or the other school on 120th and holly. I had the best experience at cherry drive.Other Review1y ago - Malley Drive Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLord of Life provides a great learning environment. The teachers are highly qualified, supportive, and easy to communicate with. The small class sizes make a big difference because students receive more individual attention and feel more comfortable participating in class. The staff genuinely care about student success and create a positive, encouraging atmosphere. Overall, it’s a great place to learn and grow.Other Review2mo ago
