Middle Schools in Helendale Elementary

The Helendale Elementary School District contains a single middle school, Riverview Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Riverview Middle does not appear to be a standout performer compared to other middle schools in the state of California. The school's academic achievement, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate is significantly higher than the state average.

While Helendale Elementary school, which serves younger students, has higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, Riverview Middle's performance has been declining over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1751 out of 2740 in 2021-2022 to 2119 out of 2802 in 2022-2023. This trend, combined with the school's consistently lower-than-average test scores, suggests that Riverview Middle may be facing challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

Riverview Middle's high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.2% is a significant concern, as it can negatively impact student learning and engagement. The school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address this issue and improve overall student outcomes. Additionally, the school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, may be a contributing factor to the school's performance that the district should consider addressing.
