Summary:
Riverview CCSD 2 is a small school district in Illinois that serves only one school, Riverview Elementary School, which educates students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. With an enrollment of 237 students, the school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics well below the state averages across all grade levels.
Riverview Elementary School's academic performance is a major concern, with proficiency rates of just 14.2% in ELA and 13.3% in Mathematics for the 2023-2024 school year, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 28.1%, respectively. The school's science proficiency rate, however, is closer to the state average at 52.8%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.1%, which may be contributing to the low academic performance.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $15,549 and a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 11.2, the academic struggles persist. This suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution, and a deeper examination of how resources are utilized and targeted interventions may be necessary. Furthermore, the Riverview CCSD 2 district as a whole is ranked 792 out of 813 districts in Illinois and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating broader challenges within the educational system.
