Fifth- and sixth-grade students collaborate through project- and inquiry-based learning experiences at Riverside Intermediate School. As a Hamilton Southeastern Schools institution, Riverside Intermediate is committed to “Respect, safety and integrity.” These values are reflected in the school’s commitment to inquiry, establishing goals, building relationships and collaboration between students. Project-based learning starts in kindergarten and continues through the entire Hamilton Southeastern School District experience. At Riverside, it involves a field trip to the Fishers Maker Playground, where students can explore science, technology, engineering and math in hands-on ways. Students can take part in athletic clubs, artistic and community-minded clubs to promote holistic learning at Riverside Intermediate. Math bowl, science bowl, tennis, basketball and a yearly school musical are just a few examples of available clubs. The Riverside Intermediate campus is also home to goats, chickens and bees, which are cared for by the students, teachers and staff. Riverside Intermediate is located next to the White River and Nonie Werbe Krauss Preserve. The school shares a building with the Riverside Junior High School, promoting an easy transition for students from intermediate school to middle school. Despite a large student population, Riverside Intermediate routinely scores well in academic testing and in student-teacher ratios.

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 daughter currently attends Riverside and is in 7th grade. I am constantly surprised and impressed by the the coursework and the enthusiasm given by her teachers; extracurricular activities included as well. It is also a beautiful campus surrounded by woods. The school has their own goats that the students get a chance to interact with. Overall a great Intermediate and Junior High experience for us so far.

My child has recently attended Riverside. The ratings are pretty accurate. Like many suburbs, this one is more affluent than the average, so the students are motivated, which is reflected in high test scores that account for most of the rating of 8 out of 10. But as the student growth rating shows,...
