Riley Busby Nails Kindergarten After Being Sent Earlier Than Her Siblings

Jan 26, 2020 by apost team

Adam and Danielle Busby, along with their 8-year-old daughter Blayke and 5-year-old quintuplets Riley, Olivia, Ava, Parker, and Hazel, star in the popular reality show "Outdaughtered" on TLC, now in its fifth season.

Recently they have faced criticism over sending one of their quintuplets to school earlier than her siblings, but it turns out Riley Busby is thriving.

While they've endured their fair share of challenges going from a family of three to a family of eight practically overnight, the Busbys have been able to rise above everything by leaning on each other and their close-knit group of family and friends.

With the quints being born at 28-weeks gestation via c-section, the parents of six had to make trips back and forth to the NICU for months before finally being able to bring their girls home.

All of the girls have been on similar levels when it came to academics. 

That is, except for the feisty Riley. Riley is the most outspoken one of the group, often taking on the role as leader of the pack. With her headstrong attitude, her parents have their hands full. 

That's why they weren't surprised when they found out that their independent Riley had tested above and beyond her sisters when it came time to determine which class they would be in this year. While the average test score is 40, Riley scored an 84.

After much consideration, the Busby's chose to send Riley to kindergarten while the rest of her sisters went to upper rotation Pre-K. Although the parents have faced some backlash, most of the feedback has been positive.

And most importantly, Riley seems to be enjoying kindergarten, as reported here at The List.
