Riverview Elementary School

Summary:

Riverview Elementary School is a public school located in East Peoria, Illinois, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 237 students. The school is part of the Riverview CCSD 2 district, which is ranked 792 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverview Elementary School consistently performs below the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 14.2% of Riverview students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 41.2%. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was even lower, with only 4-13% of students meeting or exceeding standards across different grade levels, compared to the state average of 26.8-33.8%. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.1% to 43.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Riverview's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as male students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who rank in the bottom 10% of Illinois elementary schools.

When comparing Riverview Elementary School to nearby schools, such as Wilder-Waite Grade School and Germantown Hills Elementary School, the performance gap is quite significant. These nearby schools, which are part of higher-performing districts, have significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates. Riverview Elementary School's declining performance over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 991 out of 2,052 Illinois elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 1,788 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024, and its star rating decreasing from 3 stars to 1 star during this period, suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational strategies, resource allocation, and support systems to improve student outcomes.

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.
