Community Reviews
Riverdale, like other affluent school districts, receives strong support from parents who are actively involved in everything from occasional major events to day-to-day activities. My two children are neurodivergent, and I was so impressed with how involved and supportive the staff is. One of my chi
Posted by a parent on 10/1/2025Riverdale is an okay school. Teachers are nice, and the curriculum is a bit above state standards, which gives kids a small boost. The SPED and social-emotional programs feel kind of gimmicky. The counselor is great, but with 400 students from ages 5–14, it’s hard to get one-on-one time.The school i
Posted by a community member on 9/20/2025Absolute best you can get in public education. Wonderful, welcoming community. Teachers and staff are warm, welcoming, and dedicated to their work. Doesn’t get any better.
Posted by a parent on 9/13/2025Riverdale is a fantastic school… it’s the kind of school you imagine your kids going to when you think of the best case scenario. Small enough to provide each child the attention and resources they need to throve, yet large enough to provide the experience of community and prepare them for what’s ne

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is lovely if your child fits the mold. I definitely think we joined due to fears vs really understanding the Waldorf way. If your child colors outside the lines, they probably aren’t a good fit. A lovely program for little but behind kindergarten the school can’t handle the aging child well, and it causes harm to families and children.Parent Review3mo ago - St John The Baptist Catholic School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI would not recommend this school to anyone I cared about. There are so many better and amazing options nearby such as St. Agatha, Holy Family and St. John the Apostle. This school has weak leadership and very inexperienced teachers. It is not the same school it was 7 years ago- in fact, there has been a complete turn-over of all staff except one, during this time frame. The turn over of principals over the last 10+ years is probably record breaking (6). The academics do not prepare students for high school and the faculty do the bare minimum for their students with huge disparities and blatant favoritism. It’s very obvious with the many families moving on and enrollment drastically dropping nearly in half.Parent Review2mo ago - St Agatha Catholic School
