Rivers Elementary School

This is our family's 10th year at E. Rivers. We love the nurturing community feel, but also love that our kids were well prepared for Middle School and beyond.

Overall, good. But I worry about security after the Parkland tragedy. There is no security officer anywhere near the front entrance. Between 7:30am and 8:00am, anybody can roam right through the front door without being questioned.

Our son attends. Last year we were super impressed with E Rivers - especially his teacher. This year E Rivers seems like a different school. His grades are lower, he doesn't understand homework, he was switched to a different class in September due to overcrowding or imbalanced classes (?). We'll wait and see if things make a 'u-turn' or not. If no change for better, then we'll reconsider private schooling.

My years in E. Rivers were some of the best years of my life. E. Rivers is an amazing school. The French program as well as the challenge program are fantastic! The school is also a wonderful community. The whole student body as well as parent body is very tight knit and diverse. If I were trying to find a school for my child, I would choose E.Rivers!
