History
Riverside Public School served the Riverside neighborhood of Fort Worth, an area with a community school system dating to the Trinity Bend school of 1876 and organized as the Pendleton District in 1884. After the City of Fort Worth annexed Riverside in 1922, the school joined the Fort Worth school system. One of five former Fort Worth school buildings individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it now serves as the Corinth Baptist Church Youth Annex.
