Riverland Elementary School

In my honest opinion the school has gone down quite a bit and the Principal needs to work on her people skills. My son started out at this school when he was 4-years-old ((7years) ago and they had a wonderful Principal. The Principal that they have now is more into her looks than being hands on with the students. My child has wonderful teachers this year and he's really enjoying school as opposed to last year. Some of the teachers that he had from Pre-K to 2nd grade are gone and the were wonderful teachers.There have been others in between that are still there but it's not the same since the other Principal and teachers left. I'm hearing about numerous students transferring out and I have never seen that happen at this rate. There's so much favoritism amongst some of the teachers and the bullying is also out of control. I'm glad that things seem to be different this year because my child loves his new teachers. The issues at this school are: Being more concerned about passing tests than actually working with the students to improve their grades, bullying amongst students and sometimes from the teachers that have no issues with embarrassing students in front of their peers, and the other staff members being so nasty towards the students ( especially the so-called cafeteria monitors or whatever they are called), and the serious issue with bullying needs to be taken care of asap. Once those things are done then you will see a serious turn around at that school.

I cannot say enough bad things about this school but it all starts with the administration. They would lead the example for the way the rest of the school is run. The administration office is so unhelpful and rude and awful that I wouldn't dare recommend this school to a single human just because they would have to deal with the administrative office.

I was a new parent also this year and i had a different experience than the previous parent. The administration is excellent. The pricipal greets each student when they arrive. The teachers returned all my calls quickly. The schools has the most up to date technology- IPADs, iMacs, promethean boards. My son loved the marine science theme. I THINK THE SCHOOL IS WHAT THE PARENTS, THE COMMUNITY AND THE SCHOOL MAKES IT!!! I was a hands on parent and the school welcomed my input.

The principle Ms. Proctor has this non chalent attitude when talking to you. She is very rude and seems not to care about the students. Please replace this principle with some who cares for our children we need get her out of this school asap!

I would recommend the toddlers program. All the teacher and supporting staff at this school are amazing.
