Riverview Elementary School

best school ever would go their again

Drains kids mentally NEVER bring your kid here if you love them

We found this school may years ago when our oldest was about to go into second grade. They had been attending public school and we felt that the teachers there were devoting more time to other students that might not have had as much support at home. We felt our child would get more attention in this type of environment. We were amazed that a small school had as many resources as they do. They have a reading and math specialist. They have Spanish class that starts in kindergarten. They have a really nice STEM lab and a computer lab. Being such a small school give a real family feel. There is only 1 class per grade so by the time your student graduates you are very familiar with all the students in the class and the parents. The downfall to that is, mostly in math, students learn at different speeds. They move everyone along at the same pace when some students excel in a subject and other struggle and could use a slower pace. Although not as obvious with the younger students, it is a disadvantage for the older students. They have taken some steps to remediate that in recent years, including dividing up in math class, and I hope they continue to expand that.

The teachers and all other staff care about the success of the students. My daughter has thrived there.

Child attended 2011-2017, Overall excellent experience.Excellent student oriented staff

Some excellent teachers who genuinely care. They deal with bullying issues right away. A few teachers who seem indifferent. My child was allowed to fall through the cracks educationally and I was not notified until I saw this on the grade card. I had to request a conference. Later he was diagnosed with a disability but it seemed the bare minimum was done to communicate with parents. Not enough field trips, or parent teacher communication.
