Academics
Riverside has three small learning communities within its school: The Academy of Entrepreneurship, the Academy of Finance, and the Academy of Health Sciences. Students earn internships, college credit, and job shadowing through these academies. If successful, they graduate with both a Regents Diploma and a CTE endorsement in their academy from Buffalo Public Schools. Riverside also has multiple community partners, including Medaille College, HSBC, Kaleida Health, and the National Academy Foundation.
In 1990, Riverside was named a School of Excellence by New York State for its high test scores and attendance. It held this distinction for a number of years, but was placed on New York State's list of Persistently Lowest Achieving schools in 2010 due to poor test results and graduation rates. This resulted in a number of changes at Riverside, including a new administration and grant funding from New York State.
