Riverview School

Q: Is Riverview School a good school?

Riverview School ranks 235 th of 485 Indiana middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Riverview School is a public middle school in Huntington, Indiana, serving 503 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Huntington County Community School Corporation, which is ranked 149 out of 381 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Riverview School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.84%) compared to nearby schools, it faces several challenges. The school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (21.8%) than the state average and the nearby Crestview Middle School (21.6%). Additionally, Riverview's proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math are generally lower than the Huntington County Community School Corporation average and the state average, particularly in 7th and 8th grade. The school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (53.48%) compared to the nearby Summit Middle School (22.52%), which has higher academic performance.

Riverview School's statewide ranking has dropped from 48th out of 470 Indiana middle schools in 2013-2014 to 235th out of 485 in 2023-2024, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger star rating from 5 to 3 stars. While the school has a higher per-student spending ($9,425 in 2021-2022) compared to the state average, this has not translated into higher academic performance. The challenges faced by Riverview School, including socioeconomic factors and chronic absenteeism, suggest that targeted interventions and a focus on improving attendance and academic support could be crucial for the school to improve its standing and provide a better educational experience for its students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
