Riverside ES Level IV Center

Does anyone have any experience good or bad with the Level IV center at Riverside ES?

My middle DS is currently in 5th grade in the center. Riverside is our base ES. My oldest went through General Ed & is now at Whitman. My youngest is in 3rd grade, also Gen Ed. Middle one is the only one in the center so I'm familiar with the entire school. We've been there since 2005. The center has definitely grown. The current 6th grade class is the first class to have two classrooms. I think 4th grade has 3 classes. My AAP son gets more challenging homework than the other two do. I've been very happy with all of their teachers. Class sizes are small. He's had about 22 kids each year. One thing that has always bothered me is the "look of the AAP classes." If you walk into the cafeteria and watch as the classes come in, you can pick out the AAP classes: they are the ones that have more than one Caucasian.

I would like to hear about this school too. I see that their test scores keep getting lower, and saw some reviews online that say there is a bullying problem there. Has anyone had any bad experiences there? Maybe these are isolated problems? I've also read some negative comments on dcum about the principal. My DC is going to the center next year and I would love to hear from more parents that already have kids in the program.
