Riverside Elementary School

Summary:

Riverside Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Milwaukie, Oregon, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 331 students. The school is part of the North Clackamas School District, which is ranked 54 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the district and state averages, Riverside Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments (OSAS) is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics. The school's high percentage of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, including those eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and English Language Learner (ELL) students, appears to be a significant factor in its academic underperformance.

Compared to nearby schools, such as View Acres Elementary and Bilquist Elementary, which are also part of the North Clackamas School District and perform significantly better on state assessments, the consistent underperformance of Riverside Elementary School suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and targeted interventions to address the achievement gap.

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.
