My experience at Archbishop Riordan was shaped by the community fostered environment. Every part of the community -- whether it be the students, teachers, faculty, or parents -- makes you feel welcomed.

Super diverse and down to earth students and families. Staff and teachers are supportive and friendly. They really try to work with you to get the most out of your high school experience. There is something for everyone here at Riordan.

The best part is that the teachers seem very passionate about what they teach. Their attitude for learning encourages me on how I can improve myself and take the skills they teach into the real world. The worst parts I would say is the structure of the classes. 4x4 block schedule doesn't really work well with APs because it meant that you could start an AP class in January, leaving you around 4 months to prepare for the test.
