Summary:
Riverside Community School Inc. dba Riverside Academy is the sole elementary school located in this district, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 163 students in Cincinnati, Ohio. Based on the available data, this school appears to be a consistently low-performing institution, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio elementary schools over the past three years with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is significantly below the state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. Only 15.8% of 5th graders and 40% of 8th graders are proficient or better in science, while proficiency rates range from 6.7% to 50% in mathematics and 20% to 50% in English language arts. The school's performance has declined or remained stagnant over the past two years, with no signs of improvement. Additionally, the school faces a major challenge with a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 79.5%, which likely contributes to the poor academic outcomes.
While the school serves a diverse student population, with 53.99% African American, 28.22% White, and 12.88% two or more races, it likely serves a high-need community, as evidenced by the lack of free and reduced-price lunch data. The school's relatively low per-student spending of $7,651 in the 2018-2019 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 13.5 may indicate resource constraints, which could be hindering its ability to provide a high-quality education. Addressing the school's chronic absenteeism, resource challenges, and the unique needs of its student population should be the focus of any efforts to improve student outcomes at Riverside Community School Inc. dba Riverside Academy.
