Following our South Carolina Schools to Watch designation in March, Riverside Middle School has just been redesignated as a NATIONAL School to Watch!!!
Each School to Watch was selected by state leaders to serve as a model to mentor other schools because of its demonstrated social equity, developmental responsiveness, academic excellence, and innovative systems. Schools to Watch have different strengths and challenges, but what they share is a dedication to young adolescents and a commitment to helping all students belong, learn, and grow. In addition, Schools to Watch have strong leadership, teachers who work together to improve curriculum and instruction, and a commitment to continuous improvement that is based on supporting the whole child through social, emotional, and academic growth.
THANK YOU to every member of our faculty, administration, and support staff who contributes their all every day to make Riverside Middle School a special place!!!
