Overall, the analysis of Riverton High School's data reveals a complex picture, with some areas of strength but also significant challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement across all grade levels and addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. Further investigation may be needed to understand the root causes of the school's performance and identify strategies for improvement.
