Riverside School

This school is amazing. It has been a wonderful place for my children to learn and grow. They have helped my kids get the help that they need to be able to learn and grow.

My daughter had a hard time at this school we addressed a few times bullying situations that involved classmates bullying my child. We were met with no compassion or any understanding of the sensitivity of the situation. It was just dismissed from administration. My child felt like it was their fault and the bullying continued into the next school year. My child loves learning, but felt like their was no where they could turn to when the situation of bullying happened again and again. My child did not feel safe anymore at this school and their self confidence diminished. I could not let this go on anymore as a parent and saw that we had no support from the school at all! We pulled our child out of this school and put our child into another school in the district that took bullying seriously and my child I felt was just not a number on their roaster. My child is happy at this new school and is thriving. But the number one thing that my child feels at this new school is that they feel supported and safe! I am grateful that we found this other school. Because of the lack of support from the other school my child was full of anxiety and fear of being bullied every day at the previous school and didn't want to continue attending the previous school. I didn't know what was causing this until it was too late! The teachers are awesome and have little help. The ratio is 1 teacher to 24 students with no assistance with a helper in class. The new school has a helper in each class so there so much support and 4 counselors

I love this school. We just moved here and I have 3 kids at the school. The teachers have all been welcoming, attentive, and so good to my kids. They are patient, kind, and at the same time, they have super high expectations for students and won’t let them slack. I love that in 5th grade they hold my student accountable for getting work done each week. If my student slacks, they have to go to a class where they catch-up, but if they get everything done, they play a game. This has motivated my 5th grader so much. For the first time, I don’t have to fight with my kid to work on things. He is taking ownership and is getting things done without reminders. I’m seeing so much improvement in him, and my other 2, and it’s because of the wonderful teachers at this school.
