RIVERSIDE ACADEMY

Riverside Academy is a public school that is part of the Cheatham County school district, located in Ashland City, TN with about 29 students offering grade levels from 1st Grade to 12th Grade. With about 8 teachers, Riverside Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 3:1. 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 Academy, located at 102 Elizabeth Street in Ashland City, Tennessee, serves as an alternative educational setting within the Cheatham County School District. The school is designed to provide a structured and supportive environment for students who may benefit from a non-traditional approach to learning. By offering smaller class sizes and specialized instruction, Riverside Academy aims to help students overcome academic or behavioral challenges, stay on track for graduation, and develop the necessary skills to succeed in their future endeavors.

The academy emphasizes a personalized educational experience, focusing on student accountability and social-emotional growth alongside standard academic requirements. By fostering close relationships between staff and students, the school strives to create a culture of encouragement that helps learners regain their confidence and academic footing. For families in the Ashland City area, Riverside Academy serves as a vital resource for students who require a more flexible or focused academic path than what is typically provided in a large, comprehensive high school setting.
