While the district is ranked 45th out of 68 in Florida with a 2-star rating, several standout schools in the area are outperforming their peers.
The top-performing schools in the area are Winthrop Charter School, Riverview Academy of Math and Science, and Creekside Charter Academy, all K-8 public charter schools that rank in the top 20-50% of elementary schools in Florida. These schools have strong test scores, with 60-90% of students proficient in core subjects. The Riverview Academy High School also stands out, ranking in the top 25% of high schools in the state.
However, the area faces some significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 30-50% across many schools, and low proficiency rates at some traditional public schools, with under 30% of students proficient in core subjects. The schools also serve a diverse, economically disadvantaged population, with 34-78% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these issues through targeted support and learning from the success of the charter schools could help improve outcomes for all students in the Riverview area.
