RIVERSIDE SCHOOL

Riverside School is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Springfield School District school district, located in Springfield, VT with about 254 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 26 teachers, Riverside School has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Riverside School, located in Springfield, Vermont, is an independent, non-profit educational institution dedicated to providing a supportive and personalized learning environment for students in grades 1 through 8.
