The teachers are amazing and very helpful. Everyone is kind, environment is great, and they really care for you. Also, education is great as well!

I am a current student at RCHS and I love it! I have been in this district since I was 7, so yes, I am school of choice. Sure, there may be some bullying issues, but not all of it comes from School of Choice kids. In fact, people who I have had problems with in the past are Riverview residents. As far as the teachers go, they are very supportive and will go out of their way to help you when it is needed. We have a very large Student Council and Diversity Club and there are many opportunities to get involved. Definitely a great school! Go Pirates!

RCHS is hands down the BEST school in the downriver area. I graduated this year, and I can honestly say I loved my four years at Riverview. Yes, I am school of choice. Now does that mean I'm out to tear down the school? Absolutely not. Of all the schools in downriver, Riverview has the most quality in the education they have to offer. Teachers constantly go out of their way to help out the students, they really are great! Graduating from a class, where there were so many people who had over a 4.0 the top ten couldn't even hold all of them, a class where together we beat the ACT score average by a whole point (it's big deal, trust me), a class where the AP test scores were amazing, and athletics? Yeah, this year was a great one for Riverview. I'm sure there so many more great years to come for RCHS. Bottom line, RCHS is awesome and the staff is amazing:)

I don't understand why people like ragging on the school of choice kids. What does the city you're from have to do with your character? I'm a school of choice student and I also happen to be a National Honors Society member. As a matter of fact, I can think of three different school of choice students with 4.0's off the top of my head right now. If you live in Lincoln Park, Taylor, or Southgate, chances are you're attending Riverview to escape a poor district and better yourself for the future. Be happy that a lot of desirable people want to attend this desirable district. Riverview is an excellent school and I'm entirely grateful the opportunity to attend was there. When I graduate next year, I know I'll be missing this school.

School of Choice Parent. Excellent. Son's GPA is 3.8+ all honors classes - National Honor Society - Two varsity sports (and letters) - One detention as a freshman for a phone violation. So for those who do not like the school of choice students consider that approximately 50% of your district is school of choice students. Image your high school academically with only 500 students versus 1000. Imagine losing 1/2 of your teachers. And yes my tax dollars do go to OUR SCHOOL. My property taxes go to Lansing and then to Riverview. MY CHOICE. Sorry a bit peeved by the SOC issue. GREAT SCHOOL!!!!!!

I do like this school because it's small and I think there is a lot more opprtunity for individualized attention to be paid to students. I do agree that the school of choice program should be limited to a certain amount students accepted per year. While I would like to think students from out of dictrict are looking for a better education, I feel as if some are problem students that have bounced from district to district.

RCHS is an awesome school. Everybody tends to get along rather well and there are not many fights, it is rare for there to be a fight actually. The teachers are nice and supportive. Just an all around good school. #RIPAMJ #FlyHigh

I am currently a student at RCHS and love it. I am one of those "undesirable" school of choice kids the parents love to talk about in these reviews. We're not all bad, the current valedictorian in the class of 2013 is a school of choice kid. if your child is not succeeding its your fault or theirs, do not put that on the school district or type of kids the school district generously takes in. As far as the bullying goes, I am not a popular guy, or jock, but I do not get messed with. If your child is being bullied maybe you should tell them to stand up for themselves because your not going to be able to hold their hand their entire life. Try taking some responsibility instead of running your mouth on a website and being embarrassed by a kid in 11th grade.
