Riverview Community High School

Summary:

Riverview Community High School is a public high school serving 883 students in grades 9-12 in Riverview, Michigan, which is part of the Riverview Community School District. This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top 25-30% of Michigan high schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong academic metrics that outpace state and district averages.

Riverview Community High School's key strengths include exceptional 4-year graduation rates of 100% and very low dropout rates ranging from 0% to 2% over the past 5 years. The school's student population is predominantly White, with lower percentages of African American and Hispanic students compared to nearby schools like Lincoln Park High School and Ecorse Community High School. Riverview also has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and its low socioeconomic status students perform exceptionally well, ranking 49th out of 654 Michigan high schools in this category.

However, Riverview Community High School has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.3% in 2019-2020 to 76.3% in 2022-2023. This trend warrants further investigation and intervention, as high chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student achievement. Overall, Riverview Community High School is a high-performing school that outperforms many of its nearby counterparts, but the school must address the recent rise in chronic absenteeism to maintain its strong academic standing.

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.
