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.

I was on the Riverdale High cheer team my sophomore through senior year. I love Riverdale traditions deeply and I am happy to be an alum. The one thing I would request is a safer campus; there was a lot of violence.

Honestly, I had a wonderful experience at my high school. I've had an amazing experience on the cheer team at the school and I love the environment at the school. I didn't like the excessive fights and rude coaches who commented on my weight, but overall I had fun and a good experience.

Negative numbers was treated like a bad kid for being tardy and not making great grades because I wasn't given any help they couldn't understand my depression or anxiety issues and simply pushed them away they didn't care

I would rate my experience a 5 because I wanted to go to a typical high school, and it can’t get more typical than riverdale! The walls scream go warriors as well as the students on game day; there is so much spirit that goes into this school and I love it!
