Riverview Elementary School

Summary:

Riverview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Denville, New Jersey, serving 465 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Denville Township K-8 School District, which is ranked 108 out of 615 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Riverview Elementary consistently performs well on state assessments, with a high percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics across grades 3-5. In 2022-2023, the school's 4th and 5th-grade students outperformed the district and state averages in ELA, and its 3rd-grade students performed better than the district and state in Mathematics. Riverview's performance is particularly strong for its White and Special Education student subgroups, ranking 184th out of 975 New Jersey elementary schools in ELA for White students and 49th out of 958 schools for Special Education students. The school also maintains relatively low chronic absenteeism rates and has a favorable student-teacher ratio compared to many nearby schools.

While Riverview Elementary generally outperforms its nearby counterparts, such as Lakeview Elementary School and Wildwood Elementary School, the latter school, ranked 16th out of 1,342 New Jersey elementary schools, has significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics. Additionally, Littleton Elementary School, with a higher percentage of Asian students, may contribute to its strong academic performance. Riverview's low percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 1.41% to 2.8%, may also be a factor in its success, though its spending per student ($9,403 in 2018-2019) is lower than some 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.
