Riverside STEM Academy is a good school for dedicated individuals, those motivated to get good grades without their parents pushing them. If you are not motivated to get good grades, then I would not recommend this school for you. STEM High provides one, rigorous, path that can be hard without the right motivation causing your GPA to sink. The workload can be extensive, but the social life at STEM makes up for it. The entire campus is like a huge family where everyone knows each other. You can expect your peers and teachers to help you. Although there are not many teachers on the campus, they are sweet and are willing to go slower for each student to understand the material. Because there are very few teachers, STEM does not offer as many options or choices in the courses you take. If you want to take something STEM does not offer, you would have to go off campus to another high school.
The school itself is a decent school in terms of college preparation, as many classes and teachers are geared to make a high school student's resume shine. However, in terms of a holistic high school experience, the school lacks in many. The school culture is simply lacking, as there is no pride or cohesiveness whatsoever. Assumably, the lack of a sports culture at the school contributes greatly to this phenomena. Additionally, extracurriculars and opportunities presented at this school cannot compete with other high schools in the area. The quality of extracurriculars is highly dissapointing, as there is
Riverside STEM Academy is a school that includes many grade levels. The program consists of grades 5-12. This creates an environment where it is very diverse in age range, ethnicities, and school life. Not only is the campus diverse, but it also provides students with a chance to explore many areas in and out of STEM fields such as science, technology, robotics, engineering, mathematics, literature, arts, and clubs. There are not many opportunities on campus for those who like to do sports. This is due to the size of the campus and the school funds.
