This school is horrible, the tribulations I undergo as a student in Riverhead charter school are no better than if I were to be attending a prison. The food is horrible, majority of the teachers don't make a hard enough attempt to cater to the students learning abilities and the teachers are unqualified. In all honesty, I attend small groups during independent work for math as I often find it hard to understand but a good majority of the time is the female teachers talking with the girls in the group, and the time they do manage to stay on task they move very fast.

This school is completely out of hand, when the kids are struggling with the work the teachers donnot help at all. Then when the kids dont raise their hand to ask a question they get mad at the kids.... Make it make sense?! Thats that, then second, when a kid is aguing with another student nd ond kid gets good grade and the other dosent the teacher will send out the student with low grades nd will be on the kids with good grades side.... Thease "bad" kids that the teachers claim the school has are need to be hurd not shamed. They are missunderstood kids who want to do better but that cant happend if everyone there is pushing them to do stuff thst causes their behavior. Please dont send your child to this school, is complete torture snd will set up your kid for failure.

This school preaches about being equal and everyone having a good opportunity to explore and learn as an equal classmate to everyone else yet they always picked favorites and the kids they ruled out as “problematic” were never put in pictures nor videos, and never allowed to go into the special events. I honestly never felt so left out as a kid until i went to this school. I was blamed for stuff I never did. But they never wanted to look into it and they believed the kids who had a better grade than me instead of taking the issues seriously. I don’t recommend this school if you have a kid that’s introverted or can be seen as “misunderstood” this school will push that into your child’s head and then your kid will think they’re not worth as much as all the other kids there. This school did NOT treat me right, now I am stuck with trying to get these terrible habits off of me all because this school made me feel like I wasn’t capable of doing anything or being anything because I was not at the same speed as everyone else. Terrible place to send your kids.

Unprofessional, they don’t teach you helpful things. They just pick favorites and make “bad kids” feel left out

This school is terrible. I heard rumors from friends that they had problems but I didn't believe it until my child went there. My child has been having trouble and when I tired to address it the staff said they would do something and now we are 5 months in and still nothing done. Still having trouble and not liking school anymore because of Educational issues. There is no parking at all unless you show up 25 mins early. There is no crossing guard and its unsafe for these kids to be alone while parents race threw the parking lot. I thought cross walks were supposed to be available to use, well Riley let's there small buses park right on top of it. I understand it takes time when you go and sign your child out but the staff should be better prepared and call for kids as parents arrive. Not make parents wait 15 mins when they were the first one to arrive for dismissal. Beware standing there waiting for your child because some parents will try to start an agrument with you for no reason. The (dark colored man) security guard is very rude and has a fowl mouth and doesn't do his job. These Children are supposed to look up to there peers not learn fowl language. Wish my child didn't have to go to this school. Nothing but problems. It may be time for private school.
