Riverdale Middle School

Summary:

Riverdale Middle School is a public middle school located in Port Byron, Illinois, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 267 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 Middle School has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 school years, indicating a strong academic performance.

Riverdale Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 59.9%, compared to the state average of 41.2%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was 33.9%, compared to the state average of 28.4%. This academic excellence is a key differentiator for Riverdale Middle School. Additionally, the school's performance across different student subgroups is noteworthy, with female and male students ranking in the top 30-33% of Illinois middle schools in recent years. However, the school's performance for special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom 50% of Illinois middle schools in some years.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Washington Junior High School, PLT Middle School, Glenview Middle School, and Geneseo Middle School, Riverdale Middle School stands out as a high-performing institution, with significantly higher ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates. Riverdale's spending per student has also increased over the years, reaching $11,145 in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the spending per student at some of the nearby schools. This investment in student resources may contribute to the school's academic success, which is further supported by its relatively low student-teacher ratio.

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.
