Riverside High School is a public secondary school in the Leesburg subdivision Lansdowne, Virginia, a community in Loudoun County, Virginia.
The school is part of Loudoun County Public Schools and is located on 19019 Upper Belmont Place in Leesburg, Virginia. Riverside High School serves Lansdowne, Belmont Country Club, and University Center. The majority of the Belmont Country Club community no longer attends Stone Bridge High School because of overcrowding.
Riverside opened in 2015, with its student body coming from Belmont Ridge Middle School, Stone Bridge High School, Broad Run High School, and Tuscarora High School. The school's capacity is at around 1,800 students.
During the first year, there were nearly 854 students from 9th through 11th grade; seniors stayed at Stone Bridge, Broad Run, or Tuscarora. The following year, the number of students increased to 1,317 students due to the attendance of the freshman class of 2020.
Riverside High School is open from 9:00 AM until 3:48 PM on all school days. Loudoun County schools are open later than neighboring jurisdictions such as Fairfax County and Prince William County where most schools open considerably earlier.
Riverside operates on an 8 period block schedule alternating each day, which are designated as A and B days. Periods 1-4 are on A days (all class periods in order); and periods 5-8 are on B days. Though there are eight periods, all students have a mandatory study hall period which is on one of these days (A/B) and periods. Some students, usually seniors or juniors (who must take a marketing co-op class) may obtain exemptions to leave school early.
Riverside High School is fully accredited based on its performance on the Standards of Learning tests in Virginia since its opening in 2015.
