Summary:
The city of Port Byron, Illinois is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Riverdale Elementary School, Riverdale Senior High School, and Riverdale Middle School. These schools are part of the Riverdale CUSD 100 district and demonstrate a strong commitment to academic excellence.
Riverdale Senior High School stands out as a top performer, ranking in the top 20% of Illinois high schools and maintaining a high 4-year graduation rate of 94.3%. The school also outperforms state and district averages in SAT English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Meanwhile, Riverdale Elementary School is a particularly strong performer, ranking in the top 15% of Illinois elementary schools and consistently maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The elementary school also outperforms state averages in IAR English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels.
Across the district, the schools demonstrate consistent high performance, with all three maintaining 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger and outperforming state averages on various academic measures. The district also appears to allocate resources equitably, with similar spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools. However, the relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at the high school and middle school levels, may be an area of concern that the district could investigate further to understand the underlying causes and implement strategies to improve attendance.
