As part of the Dawson County School District, which is ranked 50 out of 203 districts in Georgia, Riverview consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic assessments.

Riverview Elementary's strong performance is evident across multiple metrics. The school maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, with its highest ranking being 153 out of 1,234 Georgia elementary schools in 2018-2019. Riverview's students score significantly higher than their peers in the Dawson County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments, with 49.2% proficient or better in 3rd-grade English Language Arts compared to 41% for the county and 38.4% for the state. The school also benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, which may contribute to its academic success.

While Riverview Elementary outperforms other Dawson County schools, the nearby Chestatee Elementary and Sawnee Elementary in the Forsyth County district also demonstrate strong academic performance, highlighting the high-quality education provided across the region. Riverview's impressive achievements are even more noteworthy given its relatively high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, indicating that the school is effectively serving a population with higher socioeconomic needs.

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.
