Riverbend High School is a public secondary school located in Spotsylvania, Virginia, and is part of Spotsylvania County Public Schools. Opened in 2004, Riverbend is Spotsylvania County's newest high school. The school mascot is a Bear and the school colors are royal blue and Emerald green. The high school has an enrollment of around 2,000 students in grades 9-12. Riverbend offers a wide variety of academic, career and technical courses as well as specialized programs to meet student needs.
Students are considered full-time when scheduled into classes that total at least five units of credit. Any exceptions must be approved by the superintendent of schools. Students must have already passed all the Standards of Learning (SOL) End of Course tests required for their diploma option before the principal will recommend early release unless the student is involved in Cooperative Education classes.
Middle school students that have successfully completed a high school credit course, will have the credit earned apply to satisfy both credit and course requirements of graduation. The grades earned are included when calculating the student’s grade point average. Immediately following the completion of the course, parents have the opportunity to request that the credit and grade be removed from the permanent record for a high school course taken during the middle school years.
The Advanced Placement (AP) Program gives students the opportunity to pursue college-level studies while still at Riverbend. Upon completion of the courses, students may receive advanced placement and/or credit when entering college. Academically oriented students are strongly encouraged to participate in the Advanced Placement Program. Students may take these courses at high school or through the Virtual Advanced Placement School. Advanced Placement (AP) courses follow the suggested College Board course curriculum and serve to prepare students for the AP examinations in May. AP Courses listed below are offered based on enrollment. Grades earned carry weighted credit in the GPA calculation:
Through an agreement with Germanna Community College, Spotsylvania County offers dual enrollment courses that meet both high school and college course requirements as well as providing the student with the opportunity to earn college credit. Students take these courses at the high school campus. Grades earned in Dual Enrollment courses carry weighted credit in GPA calculations.
