Riverside University High School was Milwaukee’s first high school and its legacy of success at its current location began in 1915. A vibrant and diverse multicultural school, Riverside focuses on preparing all students for success in college, career, and beyond.

One of the top five Advanced Placement (AP) high schools in MPS, students have access to classes that are sought after on college applications such as robotics, biomedical, world languages, visual and performing arts, and career exploration. Staff members have a mentoring mindset to help every student achieve their dreams.
