Parent: Parent of two students - one current, one just graduated. More than a school: a "community" we've been a part of since Kindergarten. Gotten better each year, and reassuring to see our kids go and leave school happy and enthusiastic every day! Very attentive, creative and engaged faculty and administration. Positive and supportive faith and values based environment. Hard to do everything as a smaller school, but what they do, they do exceptionally well. Small classes lead to a great learning environment, but naturally challenge extracurriculars and athletics. Excellent art and STEM. Interesting diversity from international students. Buildings and grounds are in great shape and constantly being improved. Our graduate will be attending one of the most competitive private HS in the region, and totally ready to go! Looking forward to launching #2. We are happy every day that we made the right decision 10 years ago. WES lives up to "Kind. Confident. Prepared." in every way.... Read 27 reviews

Senior: What made my school positively stand out from others were the teachers and environment. Everyone in general was very kind, especially since respecting and uplifting others was part of the honor policy. The teachers at my school genuinely cared about the students. Not only did they care about the student's academic performance, but for their physical/mental health as well. Every teacher I interacted with would gladly take time out of their day to help me with school work outside of class, or simply ask me how my day was. That's why students and teachers at my school have great relationships and even can be considered friends. AP art is the best!... Read 58 reviews

Parent: My children have been attending Riverdale for the past 7 years and we have been extremely pleased with the level of education our little ones receive. The teachers are knowledgeable and caring, the classes are small, and the administration is responsive. Your child isn’t just a number at Riverdale, they’re family. I would highly suggest this school for anyone looking to place their child at a school that will allow your child to flourish!... Read 147 reviews
