Riverview School

Summary:

Riverview School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, with a student population of 387 and a student-teacher ratio of 12.9 for the 2022-2023 school year. However, this school faces significant challenges compared to its neighboring schools in the Roaring Fork School District No. Re-1.

One of the most notable differences is the racial makeup of Riverview School, which has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (77.26%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 29.71% to 57.58% Hispanic students. Additionally, Riverview School consistently underperforms the district and the state of Colorado in CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) test scores across all grades and subjects, with only 20.2% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 34.3% for the district and 44.1% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.76% in 2020-2021 to 58.91% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 21.01% to 37.62% for the 2022-2023 school year.

Riverview School's consistent underperformance compared to the district and state averages, as well as its unique student demographics, suggest that the school may face unique challenges or have different student needs that require targeted interventions and support. The school's low ranking of 717 out of 943 Colorado elementary schools and a 1-star rating for the 2023-2024 school year further highlight the need for the school and district to identify and address the root causes of the school's challenges, which could involve reviewing instructional practices, implementing targeted interventions, or exploring ways to better support the specific needs of the school's student population.

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.
