Riverside Elementary

Riverside Elementary sits in Richmond's rolling hills near the 94806 zip code, a part of the East Bay that offers a strong sense of community and easy access to both the Carquinez Strait shoreline and the wider Bay Area. The school serves a tight-knit neighborhood, and families drawn here tend to be deeply rooted in Richmond's working-class, multicultural character. While academic scores are currently below state averages, the school's relatively stronger science numbers suggest some bright spots, and families who are active participants in their child's education and connected to local resources will find a community worth investing in.
