Riviera schools administration is horrible, failing to communicate with students and "try to make the best experience possible" but in reality they spend very little to no money even with all the money they make. The teachers they hire are hardly eligible and cheating is prominent in this school, in addition, most teachers don't even have a textbook!
I attended this school since I was in the first grade, so I grew up surrounded by the administration and students. Although I made some good friends there, I was never truly happy or comfortable with myself while attending the school. Bullies were common and the school never seemed to care about dealing with them. Unfortunately, bullies weren't only students, they were also administrators. While I was enrolled, I had several rather upsetting experiences with both teachers and administrators in which I was humiliated and often brought to tears. I was accused of having mental health issues, but the administration didn't come to me in a concerned way; instead, they often confronted me with an accusing attitude. Now that I'm in college, I find myself unprepared in several of my STEM classes, which I mostly blame on the lack of qualified teachers at Riviera. For most of my AP science classes, I taught myself the entire curriculum, and it's starting to show. I would not recommend this school
From academics to character, we have yet to experience a School in Miami that excels in these areas. The faculty and staff should be proud of the tremendous experience they are giving the children that attend Riviera. Ethics and values are part of growing up and Riviera incorporates a fine fabric of academics mixed with refined characteristics. I am grateful that my child will experience a highly academic, balanced, and healthy education in Miami.
