Riverview Elementary School

Summary:

Riverview Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Tonawanda, New York, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 366 students. The school is part of the Tonawanda City School District, which is ranked 631 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverview Elementary stands out for its higher percentage of white students (78.96%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math on the New York State Assessments are generally higher than the Tonawanda City School District average, but lower than the state average. For example, in 2022-2023, Riverview's 4th grade ELA proficiency was 44.26% compared to the district's 36.59% and the state's 48.79%. However, the school's ranking has dropped from 616 out of 2,257 New York elementary schools in 2008-2009 to 1,436 out of 2,439 in 2022-2023, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other schools in the state.

Interestingly, Glendale Elementary School, part of the Sweet Home Central School District, has higher academic proficiency rates in both ELA and Math compared to Riverview Elementary. Meanwhile, schools in the Kenmore-Tonawanda Union Free School District and the Buffalo City School District generally have lower academic performance and higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to Riverview. The school's decreasing spending per student and relatively high student-teacher ratio may also be contributing factors to its academic performance, which is lower than the state average but higher than the district average.

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.
