My son has an IEP and he is thriving at River Grove School. Mr Wiley, our school principal, and all of the teachers truly care about the students. Teachers constantly communicate and collaborate with parents whenever there are issues. My son will be graduating this year and I am sad to say goodbye to the RGS Community

I think the pre k and kindergarten special Ed suck. They are quick to judge and attack a parent. They place children in esl even though parents opt out of it. I think it's a racial problem.

The school is great with the students that needs major help to the academically gifted/honors. The teachers encourage the kids to want to learn, and try to make it fun to learn. If your child needs speech therapy this is the place to go, the school provides it to the students for free. The school also prepares the students very well for high school, good enough to test into the top high schools if they choose.

Overall, the teachers are pretty good and seem to care. Sadly- the old principal has been promoted to superintendant and he is not good for this school. But-thankfully they got an outside person to take his position as principal. The lady in charge of discipline is completely ineffective and should be removed from that school.
