I've had 3 kids attend Riverview and all three had wonderful experiences. The teachers and administrators go above and beyond! Great academic support and great intervention when needed. PTO is strong and supportive as well. Wonderful community and school!

Both my children spent their elementary school years at Riverview and it was excellent. Only complaint (see previous review) might be parents who think their kids are too good for the school - but there are those everywhere, methinks.

Riverview is a large school with almost 500 students. It teaches to the average, and emphasizes test taking for standardized tests. If your kid is average, or special needs as 4 of the 28 staff are devoted to special needs students, then you will likely be happy with Riverview. If your kid needs more challenge, then they will likely be bored by the mediocre academics at Riverview. It is a beautiful, large, new facility but fails to really apply those advantages to its academic program, probably because it is just too big to create a real sense of academic community.

I think that the teachers and staff at Riverview are above par and the curriculum works! I've had my kids enrolled for 3 years now and have yet to come up against any real complaint. I love Riverview and think it is an amazing school!
