School Reviews

As a River Valley graduate and now parent with children in the RV school system, I believe that RV is the best school in the county. My children receive an excellent education even though the student/teacher ratio is higher than it used to be. The division of mathematical levels within the grades helps to keep students on grade level at their own speed but also allows for advancement of children ready to learn at higher levels. I believe in the Viking school system. They are among the best of the best!
