About Us

High on a hill in Suwanee sits Riverside Elementary School, overlooking magnificent mountains and Lake Lanier.  The attractively designed school, built in 1999, is perched only a stone's throw from the water's edge of the Chattahoochee River.  Even though the river is invisible from the school, the splendid landscape creates an awe-inspiring connection between the school and its natural environment.  Tall trees and thick, green shrubbery surround the 35-acre property, providing protection and privacy from the sprawling community.

Our students are finding out that Riverside is a great place to learn, with its beautiful setting, access to technology, and state-of-the-art facilities.  With an eye on the future and the limitless possibilities, our staff - made up of  over 60 classroom teachers, 30 plus support staff, and five administrators -- is laying the groundwork for the growth and pursuit of knowledge and skills that the school's 1,500+ students will bring into our rapidly evolving world.  As the third elementary school in the North Gwinnett Cluster, Riverside was planned and built to educate children far into the 21st century.

As it has been said, "With our feet on the ground and our head in the stars, we are able to achieve greatness."  For our Riverside Rockets, the sky is the limit as we follow our school motto each day:  "Learning with Pride at Riverside."
