GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at Auburn Riverside has been great. I have made a lot of close friends and succeeded in sports here. I really like the environment here because it is chill while still having boundaries. The whole staff is friendly and strives to make sure their students are safe. The best parts of my experience here are when I am playing sports with my friends. I play volleyball and softball here and I have made so many friends that really make playing fun. I have even gone to the state tournament a few times for both sports which was exciting. The worst part about my experience here was when we were online during COVID and I felt disconnected from the school but that wasn't the school's fault. The only thing I would like to see change is the bathroom situation because there are always girls in the bathrooms that don't necessarily need to use the bathroom and take up space.

It is a very inclusive, diverse school that makes you feel welcomed. The teachers and staff are very good at making sure their students are on the right path towards whatever they want to do after high school. The school also has fun extracurriculars and the teachers take advantage of their time in the classroom. The classes are not boring; the teachers find ways to make classes engaging so students don't lose interest.
