    "We are so fortunate to have the teachers and principal that we now have. Our school has now returned to its usual 8 rating, and we have won several awards since we have gone Charter! The school's challenging programs provide our students with a better education. Especially with the encouragement from the teachers and their availability for extra time with homework the last elementary school we attended did not offer as much challenge, and they offered no help. Riverside had a few bumpy years, but it is back on track with engaging extra-curricular such as computers, theater, chorus, art and PE. Our family feels very lucky to have all this and more, considering the times. We love living in this neighborhood where our kids can walk to school. Parent involvement and contributions to the betterment to the whole of the student body has really improved the schools ambience, traffic flow, energy, positive attitude and genuine love of the school our children adore. Thank you to the principal and teachers for respecting individuality and curiosity from their students. Your respect for our children is noted, and greatly appreciated, especially your equality to all."

    "this is an awful School. I would not recomend this School to anyone. My daughter started this School in Kindergarten and we have had nothing but problems. every-day there's a complaint about my daughter. The reasoning is she talks out of place. She was also above average in prechool and is not below average. the principle does not care when I have concerns.She doesnt listen when i say certain people can not pick my child up. its only the second week of school and they're already complaining about my daughter. i am with drawing my daughter from this school. the principle and teachers work against you not with you."

    "I'm a parent trying to decide whether to send my child to school here this fall as a kindergartener. Can a parent or administrator address why they believe this school has a 7 rating when every other elementary school in Sherman Oaks has an 8? Thank you."

    "I have a 3rd Grader in this school and we couldn't be happier. My child loves his teacher, the principal is incredibly hands-on and the school seems more united than even when my child first started. Recently the school went Charter and it seems like there is more parents and teachers working together to do great things for the kids. Now we as parents have a chance to participate in curriculum planning and technology advancements. Just got an announcement that the school received a California Distinguished Award. The Principal of this school has really turned this school around - she is fantastic. Although she has her rules that she sticks by - sometimes parents can get uppity about them. But you can't make everyone happy all of the time. You do the best you can. And I get the feeling her priority is our kids!"

    "For the 3-29-12 entry re: taunting the dog... Yes that is horrible! I am a dog owner and I would have been enraged as well - so much so that I would have said something to stop the behavior thereby pointing it out to the inattentive parents - you missed your opportunity. Now on to reviewing the school. This is a school that has become better every year under Principal Kessler. It has become a Charter school and much is being done to add and improve many programs for the school and the kids are benefitting from it. Test scores have increased steadily every year. As a result, Riverside was just named a CA Distinguished school. Wel are very happy with Riverside and our child is getting a good education."
