Summary:

Riviera Beach Elementary is a public elementary school located in Pasadena, Maryland, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 281. The school is part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, which is ranked 10th out of 25 districts in Maryland and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riviera Beach Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (77.22%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 24.95% to 89.18% white students. The school outperforms the county and state averages in both mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency, with 32.5% and 54% of students proficient or better, respectively. However, Riviera Beach Elementary's performance has declined over the years, as evidenced by its statewide ranking dropping from 211 out of 853 Maryland elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 320 out of 859 in 2023-2024, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger star rating from 4 to 3. Additionally, the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, and white students, is significantly lower than the overall school performance, ranking in the bottom half or bottom quarter of Maryland elementary schools in these categories.

While Riviera Beach Elementary outperforms the county and state averages, it lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Pasadena Elementary and Bodkin Elementary, which have higher test scores and statewide rankings. The higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Riviera Beach Elementary (49.82%) may be a contributing factor to its relatively lower performance compared to some of the more affluent nearby schools.

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.
