River Trail School

Most of the teachers at this school are amazing but the principal is terrible. The principal plays favorites and bullies teachers. I love the assistant principal but the principal at this school has no empathy and is a terrible leader.

I absolutely hate this school I am not sure there is a district doing less with more then district 56 (13K in per student funding and an above average family income school). When we started 7 years ago, this school was rated as a 7 now it is down to a 5 and I would be shocked if it is not down to a 4 within two years. Several families are moving out of district or like us are transferring to St Pats. I feel bad for the families that do not have the means to find alternatives.

River trail is the best school in Lake County! The teachers put the students first. It is amazing how much the kids learn and love their school. The students stay with the same teacher for 2 years. The students also stay at this school for 9 years before moving across the street to the high school which is also rated highly at a 9. The secretaries and nurse are fabulous and so is the assistant principal. Several staff members send or did send their kids though RT. Keep up the hard dedicated work!

River Trail is the best school in Lake County! I have never felt more welcomed in a building as I have at River Trail. There is a pure dedication to learning!
