Summary:
Riverview CCSD 2 is a small school district in Illinois that contains only one elementary school, Riverview Elementary School. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and is located in a community with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged families.
Riverview Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on standardized tests in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 14.2% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41.2%, and just 4-13.3% of students met or exceeded standards in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 24.8-33.8%. However, the school's science proficiency rate of 52.8% is closer to the state average of 53.2%.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it appears to have adequate funding and resources, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.2 and per-student spending of $15,549 for the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the school's challenges in improving student learning outcomes. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, at 51.9%, may be a significant factor in the school's persistent academic struggles.
