About Riverside Elementary
Beautiful and historic Mount Vernon is the setting for Riverside Elementary Professional Academic Center. Built in 1968 on land once owned by George Washington, Riverside serves a culturally rich and economically diverse school community. The staff is committed to helping all children achieve high academic standards. Support is provided for students who demonstrate difficulty meeting those standards.

We will meet the needs of all learners through meaningful instruction based on ongoing assessment, and work collaboratively with colleagues and parents to provide multiple strategies that support student learning.
