Central Riverside Elementary School

Terrible school with terrible communication. My daughter attended kindergarten at this school 2 years ago and she fractured her arm in 2 places at recess and no one contacted me. They sent her to the nurse then sent her back to class with an ice pack. After that I switched her school

My son has been here since kindergarten and now he is in 3 rd grade. He has had awesome teacher thus far. I would likefor the field tripsTo be better

The environment at this school is awesome! The teachers and admin are welcoming and happy. There is a high level of gifted students at this school and the expectations for all students are high. Struggling students may need to try a different school because this one is RIGOROUS. Very happy with my choice!

This is our first year, but it has been VERY positive. My son is in 2nd grade & his teacher grouped the kids in the class for each subject, which helps kids who are struggling to get more help while the kids who work above the standard to do more & not get bored- he's learned about square roots already! My daughter is in 5th grade & has wonderful teachers. She has also had very challenging work, and when I went to JWJ for open house I was told that she should do well in middle school because now she was used to the level of work that would be expected of her. Earlier reviewers talked about the negative effects of the neighborhood, but you should be aware that the neighborhood is starting to go through gentrification, so the neighborhood is not as bad as it once was. Also, their magnet program has attracted more high achieving students so the classes can be more challenging. My daughter has 19 kids in her class and less than 5 of them work at a 'normal' level- the rest are either gifted or academically talented. I'm not a fan of the PTA, mainly because I haven't really seen them do anything, but they're getting a new leader next year so hopefully that will change.
