Summary:
The 51109 zip code in Sioux City, Iowa is home to a single elementary school, Riverside Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 244 students. While the school has a diverse student population, it appears to be struggling academically compared to state and district averages.
Riverside Elementary School is ranked in the bottom 20% of Iowa elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the Sioux City Community School District and the state of Iowa averages, particularly in the higher grade levels. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (72.95%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite these challenges, Riverside Elementary School does have some positive attributes, such as a diverse student population and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1. However, the school's declining statewide ranking and lower-than-average test scores suggest that it may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address these issues and improve student outcomes.
