Summary:
The city of Riverbank, California is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance and student engagement across the Riverbank schools, with a few standout institutions.
The top-performing school in the district is Riverbank Language Academy, a public charter elementary/middle school (grades K-8) that outperforms the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. Another high-performing school is Crossroads Elementary, a public elementary school (grades K-5) with test scores above the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Adelante High stands out for its very low test scores, high dropout rate of 20.7%, and concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 61%.
The data suggests that socioeconomic factors play a significant role in student outcomes, with the schools serving more economically disadvantaged populations, such as California Avenue Elementary and Cardozo Middle, tending to have the lowest test scores and highest absenteeism rates. Overall, the Riverbank Unified School District appears to be underperforming compared to the state, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address the disparities and improve student outcomes across the district.
