Riverview Elementary

Summary:

Riverview Elementary is a public elementary school located in Norco, California, serving grades K-6 with a student population of 289. It is part of the Corona-Norco Unified School District, which is ranked 579 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverview Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 29.3% of Riverview students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 55.38% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, only 13.46% of Riverview students were proficient or better, compared to 40.54% for the district and 35.54% for the state. Additionally, Riverview Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.6% in 2018-2019 to 39.9% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district average of 26.9%.

Riverview Elementary's academic performance lags behind nearby schools within the same district, such as Highland Elementary and Eastvale Elementary, which consistently outperform Riverview in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. This suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies employed by the higher-performing schools in the district. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rate and the large proportion of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Riverview Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's academic challenges, and addressing these underlying issues could be crucial in improving student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
