We have 3 children who attend Riggs and we love our school! Riggs teachers are kind, hard working and truly care about their students and families. The office staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the administration is very involved in the students' lives. We moved to Arizona and were worried about the schools. After attending another neighborhood school, we transferred to Riggs because of its' excellent reputation. We wanted a neighborhood school where our children could walk to school and be surrounded by familiar people. Riggs is unique. No other school in Chandler or Gilbert can hold up to this reputation. Families come to Riggs for this very reason and we are so happy we did as well! Close Quote
