Riverside Public Schools

The Riverside Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population with varying economic backgrounds, and the schools exhibit a range of academic performance and improvement trends.

Riverside Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the top middle schools in Nebraska and outperforming the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. In contrast, Riverside High School has shown significant improvement, moving from the bottom third to the top third of Nebraska high schools in recent years, with improved test scores and a higher rating from SchoolDigger.

The district's elementary schools, Riverside Elementary - Cedar Rapids and Riverside Elementary - Spalding, exhibit varying levels of student diversity and economic disadvantage, as reflected in their free/reduced lunch rates. This disparity may have implications for resource allocation and targeted support programs within the Riverside Public Schools district.
