Its OK.
I have been back and forth between this school and North springs; But as you can see they have a very wide attendance zone, thus making the school full, populous and diverse. However, diverse is a very….strong word to describe the people at this school. Very strong. Anyways, the classes are difficult so expect a challenge. The Magnet/IB is also challenging but gives a good start to college preparations and other fun activities. The counselors are ok, if you’re lucky enough to get the right one. The curriculum is….respectable. The principal isn’t horrible. The teachers are OK….like I said. If you’re lucky. The students…..your peers….well they can be….high schoolers. The best way to describe them. The food is ok mostly, but I recommend bringing your own lunch. It’s mostly because I hate the cafeteria….its disgusting. But who knows…..that new schools looking pretty good. Anyways, if you or your child is into socialism and of the rich/wealthy variety and enjoys sports, games, learning, and stuff like that. This is a good place for you….of course if you’re more of an artsy kid with some goals in mind, don’t like busy work and enjoy living in the high-school experience rather than just working in it…..maybe try north springs first. And if that doesn’t work out…..then come here. I mean……guess you could say that worked out for me….Its not a BAD school, and its not great one either (yet i suppose)….its just OK.

I graduated from Riverwood Highschool in 2011. I would say that most of the faculty are looking out for the children’s best interest. Some just want a paycheck and could careless. But most are Great Teachers. I think it is the Best highschool in Fulton County. 10x better than North Springs, . My sister attends there now and says it has declined in quality since I went there. She tells me that the administration is harsh, and only cares about punishing it’s students. I enjoyed my experience here at Riverwood. If I could do it all over again, I would not have gone anywhere else. As Coach Hudson always use to tell us, It’s all about how you make your experience. If you tell yourself, “oh this places sucks, I’m not going to enjoy it,” then you won’t! I enjoyed it, and made many friends and learned a lot. It also prepared me well for College.

I went to this school my freshman and sophomore year, my junior year i wanted to be withdrawn bc of constant drama and when I went to the counselor they told me I just “wanted attention.” Anyways, my mom went to withdraw me and explain why she was doing it and the principal at the time refused bc they didn’t want any bad rep on the school and said that they’ll put that I was being expelled instead, my mom then went to the school board and got it all worked out. I’m not sure about the new principal but Shaw was horrible. I don’t recommend this school if your child is being bullied or has any time of mental illness
