A Tradition of Quality Education
For over a century, Central Riverside has proudly served the Riverside and Avondale community, standing as a beacon of academic excellence and creative exploration. As a Gifted and Academically Talented magnet school, we are committed to nurturing the whole child—balancing rigorous academics with social-emotional learning and imaginative growth. Our Dolphins are encouraged to think critically, take bold academic risks, and develop into confident, compassionate learners. With a legacy rooted in tradition and a mindset focused on the future, we prepare our students to thrive wherever life takes them.
Meeting Individual Needs
Every child is individually supported, challenged, and inspired at Central Riverside. With a strong Gifted & Academically Talented Program, inclusive classrooms, and weekly enrichment, students thrive both academically and socially. We’re proud to be an “A” school three years in a row, with high performance, PBIS Silver recognition, and strong community partnerships.
Holistic and Fun Learning
Our school is a safe, nurturing place where every child can thrive. Families love our strong sense of community, high expectations, and opportunities that prepare students for lifelong learning. From CAPS and Girls on the Run to gardening, student council, and safety patrols, we offer engaging clubs and activities that spark curiosity and build confidence. Even as we grow, we remain a close-knit school where every child is valued like family.
Inclusive School Culture
Central Riverside Elementary offers a one-of-a-kind blend of tradition, community, and curiosity—shaped by our rich history in the Riverside and Avondale district. Families love our school because it’s fun, welcoming, and filled with opportunities for students to connect, learn, and grow. From engaging after-school programs to lasting friendships, our students enjoy experiences that they carry with them well beyond elementary school and into their middle and high school years.
