We had high hopes when we sent our daughter to this high school. In the end, we were disappointed and pulled her out. While the academic rigor is present, the teachers are mixed; some are amazing, others just present the material and expect the students to figure it out on their own.
The culture is seemingly welcome at first, but can quickly turn if you don’t fit into the mold. Clubs are pretty nonexistent. Sports are scarce and since there are no on site facilities, also not convenient. And when we approached administrators about a serious issue we were having they seemed very attentive and concerned, but ultimately did nothing to help. And when they heard we were considering leaving the school no one approached us to ask why or if we’d reconsider. We did not feel the small school caring we were expecting.
We were paying as much tuition as St Mary’s and Jesuit HS, but definitely not getting our moneys worth. Ultimately, we would not recommend this school.

I am a current junior at RHS who transferred in for the last trimester of my sophomore year. My only regret is not being able to attend for my entire high school experience. The teachers are amazing; they truly care about students and their personal troubles. The students are engaged, enthusiastic, and thoughtful. I am beyond proud to be a Maverick.
Riverdale is a small school with roughly 60 students per grade. It is a k-12 school although has a different campus for the high school. Because it is so small, you get lots of attention to really help ensure everyone is doing well. Everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed. For the most part education is very good. It’s weak spot is STEM which is unfortunate considering how many people at the school want to go into a STEM major. It is also a very wealthy school sitting in the town of dunthorpe. Many wealthy people live here, over half of the residents are in the top 1% of wealth which forces students to be very sheltered. This creates a lack of diversity which is challenging.
