We’ve been blessed to have our son and daughter who are 18 months apart in age, enrolled in Riviera! They have thrived in this school and their knowledge is above average in comparison to their peers that are enrolled in LAUSD schools.

My daughter is in her 4th year at this school and loves it. The only complain is the class size. But you have it at every public school thanks to the budget cuts.

Everything is great about RES. We feel blessed both of our girls are attending this school at Torrance. We have been living at Torrance since 6 months ago and we got lucky our girls were accepted at RES. Mrs. Forshey seems to love her job very much. She seems to always enjoy whatever she is up to. Her leadership is working well since the school management is always smooth.

Please note that 10 or the last 11 reviews (all amazingly positive) were done on/near 9/27/13.... hmmmm .... PTA board members perhaps a day or 2 before the School Site Council meeting on 9/30? Typical of our experience at Riivera. There is a select few privileged parents (including the teachers w/ students at the school) whom get all of the great teachers. The dregs are left for anyone who EVER questioned the principal's decisions. There is so much potential at this school -- an amazing PTA, committed parents, but the office personnel, led by a politically-proned principal, keeps it from being so.
