Summary:
The Riverdale Joint Unified school district has only one middle school, Riverdale Elementary, which serves students in grades 4-8. The school's performance has been consistently below the district and state averages across various academic subjects and grade levels, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
Riverdale Elementary's statewide school rank has fluctuated, ranging from 1185 out of 2802 California middle schools in 2022-2023 to 1426 out of 2777 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star and 3-star rating, respectively. The school's proficiency rates on Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST (California Science Test) are generally lower than the district and state averages, with the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy ranging from 23.33% to 46.99%, and in Mathematics from 22.83% to 34.88%, compared to the state averages of 43.9% to 47.19% and 41.2% to 31.57%, respectively.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 87.93% in 2022-2023, indicates that Riverdale Elementary serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges. To address these issues, a deeper investigation into the root causes and the implementation of targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the school's performance and provide a high-quality education for its students.
