Riverdale Elementary School

Summary:

Riverdale Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Port Byron, Illinois, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 513 students. The school is part of the Riverdale CUSD 100 district, which is ranked 165 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverdale Elementary School consistently performs above the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, with particularly strong performance in Science. The school's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 54.9% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 41.2%. Riverdale Elementary also performs well across different student subgroups, with female and male students ranking in the top 20% and top 25% of Illinois elementary schools, respectively, in ELA and Mathematics. The school's performance for low socioeconomic status (SES) students is particularly noteworthy, ranking in the top 12% of Illinois elementary schools in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Benjamin Franklin Elementary (Moline-Coal Valley CUSD 40) and Bowlesburg Elementary (East Moline School District 37), Riverdale Elementary School outperforms them in academic proficiency, particularly in ELA and Mathematics. However, the school's increasing chronic absenteeism rate, from 1.9% in 2019-2020 to 9.1% in 2022-2023, is an area that warrants further attention and intervention.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
