Rating 1.83 out of 5 6 reviews
I attended this school from kindergarten to seventh grade but I felt trapped. The class sizes are tiny and you are stuck with the same people year after year. There were very few teachers that ever actually taught anything and I personally did not get along with a few of them. There isn't much focus on anything in particular. None of the academics are structured whatsoever. Each teacher kind of just teaches whatever they want. There are music and art classes but they aren't structured and there aren't any extracurricular sports. I ended up transferring to a private school for 8th grade and river valley must've done something right because I got good grades there. I made some lifelong friends but I overall had a poor experience and I almost feel like I wasted 8 years of my life.
Excellent public school in Newburyport, MA with great teachers and administrative staff. Self-directed learning and top notch curriculum. K-8 only and limited after-school activities. You'll have to enroll your child in town or rec-league activities outside the school.
The academics vary widely from classroom to classroom and teacher to teacher. There is very little support for students who are not academically gifted. The school only wants exceptional students and gets rid of the students who don't fit that model.
