The Riverview Community School District has only one middle school, Seitz Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. Located in Riverview, Michigan, the school faces some challenges, with declining academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates compared to state averages.

Seitz Middle School has an enrollment of 600 students, with a diverse student body that is 77.83% White, 9.33% African American, 10% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of Asian and Native American students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step and PSAT proficiency rates, is generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels.
