Riverside School is a public elementary school that is part of the Hagar Township S/D #6 school district, located in BENTON HARBOR, MI with about 83 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. With about 4 teachers, Riverside School has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.

Riverside School, located at 3422 Riverside Road in Benton Harbor, Michigan, serves as the heart of the Hagar Township community. As a public elementary school, it focuses on fostering a supportive, small-school environment where students in early grades receive personalized attention. The school is known for its commitment to academic excellence and for providing a strong foundational education that prepares children for their future academic endeavors.

Beyond core academics, Riverside School emphasizes the development of the "whole child" by encouraging character growth, community involvement, and active participation. Because of its location in a smaller district, the school prides itself on close partnerships between educators, students, and families, creating a tight-knit campus culture.
