“I have been a parent whose children have attened and still attend Riverdale. My son has attened since kinder and is now graduation the 5th grade this year ,my daughters are now attending the 2nd grade. I have been nothing by pleased by the faculty and leadeership of this school. The teachers are always willing to go the extra mile. The PTA has been great the past 3 yrs very involed with the school and it's progress to better the surrounding our children are in each day. They support the teachers to make them feel special and have done may projects for the school to make a better enviorment for it's students and faculty.”

“Riverdale has been my home for 7 years now and I don't want to ever go to another school! The faculty and office staff make it enjoyable to go to work each day. Not to mention the students... every classroom is going to have some behavior problems and some low achievers, but I make sure that every child has been listened to, spoken to, praised, and pushed academically each day. There is a reason for our school mission... 'Our mission is to grow academically, emotionally, socially, physically, and artistically to the best of our ability.' Ask any teacher, student, and most parents and they can recite it! Some parents disagree with the way that Mrs. Boyd runs the school, but 99% of the time it is because they did not get their way. She is famous for backing her teachers (cause she only hires the best!).”

“The principal is very judgemental with the students. Mrs Boyd keeps the parents out of the loop through alot of situations. This school has no guidance counseling, nor they have 5th grade gratuations. The teachers are great but like stated outherwise not enough parent interaction allowed.”

“Riverdale is an excellent school. The teachers are committed and the principal is involved. If more schools were like Riverdale, I doubt there would be such a shortage in teachers. The fifth grade teachers are particularly wonderful.”

“This is a clean nice school however, the curriculum is not very up to speed at all. I do not believe they push the children to maximize their potential. Due to lack of family involvement as well I am sure the teachers get frustrated of babysitting instead of teaching. My son enjoyed fun Fridays. I was not pleased with the aftercare crew who are young ladies who really do not watch over the children carefully or notice fights. So lack of discipline and awareness is a problem.”

“Riverdale is a good educational facility run by a commited woman. However, mix is wearing on those who really want to be achievers. Mixed weekly is sports, art and music. Level of parent involvement is missing by a long stretch, faculty pulls it all together in lieu of missing parents.”

“An excellent school with a very diversified student body. A large emphasis on the 'arts' complimented with academic learning.”

“Riverdale Elementary has an excellent academic program. I could not have asked for a better foundation for my child. Extracurricular activities are what one would expect for an elementary level, however, I would say this school and particularly the principal does promote the arts more so than what I would think other elementary schools do. This promotion is mainly on the school level and not necessarily arts in the community. Parent involvement is not always welcome, especially if you are critizing or questioning a teacher or school policy.”

“My son attended this school for kindergarten 2004 and we couldn't have been happier. The teachers were excellent. He has received an incredible foundation for grades to come. We were especially pleased with Riverdale's focus on performing arts as well as school safety measures.”
