Johns Creek Elementary School

I have a great and wonderful experience at Riverside it's a great school. I have two kids at this school both excellent academically all their teachers are wonderful and caring. Let's go Riverside keep on rocking!

My son just graduated from Sharon elementary and I have nothing but great things to say about the school. Academics are top notch. Just look at the test scores. We loved his teachers. They are warm, organized, thoughtful, fun. My son's least favorite class is ELA, but he said to me all year "At least my teacher makes it really fun!". That says a lot right there coming straight from the mouth of a student.

This school is run prison-style. The kids are assigned seats everywhere they go, even at lunch. They have to be granted permission to get up to get a napkin or get up at all from their assigned table. The teachers are sub-par from our experience. 3rd grade was decent, 4th grade has been a nightmare- newer teachers that have no clue how to communicate or get organized. There was a mass exodus of teachers which is also red flag. Lastly, this school is VERY focused on academics and very strict and serious, much like the middle school it feeds, River Trail. If you want your child to have more balance and be able to have a more “normal” school life, I would not recommend this school. Also, the demographic and school focus at home is why the school ranks so high for test scores. It is not the teachers and school structure.
