College testing scores: Below are the scores for the graduating class of 2010. Riverdale High is an approved testing center for the ACT. Every April, the test is offered to all juniors during the school day - so a higher percentage of our students take the ACT (93% in 2010) than the SAT (68% in 2010). Colleges accept either or both tests, with equal value. Here's a great resource to help you prepare: Free SAT tutorial videos.
