About the District:

The 65 square miles that encompass the Riverside Local School District are located in Lake County and serve nearly 4,500 students residing in Painesville Township, Concord, Leroy, Grand River, and a small section of northern Chardon. In July of 2007, the Board of Education passed a resolution to change the name of the district from the Painesville Township Local School District to Riverside to develop a more cohesive bond throughout all the communities the district serves. Riverside prides itself in offering an excellent education program to its students at a great value to the district taxpayers.

The Riverside Campus houses students in grades 8-12 and offers a variety of high quality experiences for its students. Currently the campus offers nine Advanced Placement courses, one dual enrollment class. Additionally, 24% of Riverside Juniors and Seniors participate in one or more Post-Secondary Enrollment Options. Many students have earned an Associate’s Degree from Lakeland Community College before earning their high school diploma. Riverside Campus students have embraced the Credit Flexibility provision with students applying to receive high school credit for activities outside the traditional classroom setting.
