Riverside Middle School

I don't like how people are so rude to parents when it comes to their child especially a special needs child. They don't keep parents informed on how the child is doing and take forever to respond to parents. They have a bad system on releasing after school since they tried giving me someone else's child several times after I said no this is not my child.... Not happy at all... Do research before sending your child to this school especially a special needs child.

The teachers are committed to student success.

Moved new to the area last year and my daughter started at Steven's Creek. Coming from out of state from a nice newly built school with modern classrooms, I was disappointed by the building my child would spend her days. The first few months of school work came back with failing marks and then passing marks and then failing marks again. She dragged going to school in the morning. I about lost my mind trying to pinpoint if it was the school culture, the teacher, or just the out of state move, and then I received a note she tested into the gifted enrichment progm called Horizons. She agreed to give it a try, and now adores this school and asks to get dropped off early. The teachers were professionals in evaluating what was going on and changed the instruction so she is now motivated to learn and is learning a lot. Steven's Creek also has a lot of parents (and grandparents) who volunteer their time when asked and donate materials for classroom activities and projects.

I went here when I was younger and was bullied from 2nd grade until I moved to middle school. While I was not the best at communicating as a child the staff members often did noting to help the situation. There was clear favoritism with almost every class I was in. I understand that young girls tend to treat each other poorly; however this dose not excuse the treatment I and other girls my age at the time endured. The councilors often failed to help the children who needed it and much of the staff were very openly rude to children they didn’t like. While I have many grievances with the school it provided a good learning environment in most classes and many of the teachers put in the effort to teach each student they had well. I was a gifted student growing up and most of my teachers worked to challenge me and help me grow in a way that shaped who I am as a person now. I thank them for that. Overall this school taught me well when I was little, but while I did learn well I was not treated well and often felt like I didn’t fit in. The favoritism at this school also caused me and many other children to feel unimportant or ignored.
