Riverdale/Kingsbridge Academy

Riverdale Kingsbridge Academy is truly a community school. For many years, students who attended the middle school would have to commute to large high schools far from their homes, but in response to community demand, MS 141 added a high school in 1999 so that 8th graders would have a high-quality neighborhood choice. The school is headed by a cohesive team of administrators who aim to meet the needs of the students and the community. "Everyone who looks at RKA sees it as a neighborhood school," said Principal Danielle Phillips, pointing out that the school provides services for families, and students volunteer in the area's numerous senior centers and tutor at feeder schools.
