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.

The best experience here is the community that is provided here at riverside. The best part of the community is when we all gather together for our annual tailgate before our first home football game of the season. It always brings me joy seeing everyone there. Then the worst experience would be the connections between students and administration. There are always some teacher that are always open but there are has always been a divide between administration and students. I would also say this is what the school should improve upon. I would also like to see more student participation through something like assemblies or pep rallies.

Riverside has some really great teachers. They all care about the students and the administration is working to improve conditions. When things were getting dangerous and students were struggling, they changed things and have worked to improve the school. The school also offers many extracurricular opportunities. Overall a great high school with many amazing programs.

Riverside isn't diverse at all. Many of the students & teachers are racist. The facility is run down & not that safe . The Academics are very mid. Teachers are hit or miss, and if you're not popular at this school then you get treated badly. Overall did not enjoy my experience at RHS so glad I left after my sophomore year.
I used to go here and honestly the test scores are only high because everybody would cheat on the ohio state tests. The education quality is horrible. Many of the teachers are there just to get paid and don't actually teach you anything. This school deserves a rating way lower than a 4. Due to how t...
The school deserves a lower rating than it has, especially in its equity rating,. The graduation rate for Hispanic Students is only 76% compared to 92% for white students at this school. An Equity Rating of a 3/10 is a joke!! On top of that, this school suspends its black & hispanic students at a wa...
The school and district are just fine. Not sure why people give it a bad rap and low scores other than to just complain about their kids. Be an involved parent and you won't have any issues.
