Summary:
The city of De Graff, Ohio is home to two schools, Riverside High School and Riverside Elementary School, both part of the Riverside Local District. While the high school and elementary school share the Riverside name, they have distinct performance profiles and student demographics.
Riverside High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from 287 out of 836 Ohio high schools in 2021-2022 to 451 out of 864 in 2023-2024. However, the school still performs above the state average in most subject areas, with particularly strong performance in 8th grade science and 7th grade English Language Arts. In contrast, Riverside Elementary School has a higher statewide ranking, placed 728 out of 1,577 Ohio elementary schools in 2023-2024, and also performs above the state average in most subject areas, with standout performance in 4th grade mathematics and 5th grade science.
The demographic makeup of the two schools is similar, with both having a predominantly white student population of over 90%. However, Riverside Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (86.71%) compared to Riverside High School, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among the elementary school population. Despite these differences, both schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their academic success.
