Summary:
The Riverview School District in Pennsylvania is home to two elementary schools, Tenth Street Elementary School and Verner Elementary School, which serve students from kindergarten through 6th grade.
Based on the data analysis, Tenth Street Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district. It has consistently ranked among the top 100 elementary schools in Pennsylvania, reaching as high as 37th in the state for the 2023-2024 school year. Tenth Street significantly outperforms the district and state averages on standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, with 84.5% of its students proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 74.9% for the district and 53% for the state. In contrast, Verner Elementary School appears to be performing below the district and state averages on most metrics, with its statewide ranking declining from 425th in 2021-2022 to 651st in 2023-2024.
The significant performance gap between the two schools is noteworthy, suggesting that the quality of education can vary greatly even within the same school district. While Verner Elementary School spends more per student than Tenth Street Elementary School, this higher spending does not appear to translate to better academic performance. The more favorable student-teacher ratio at Tenth Street may be a contributing factor to its stronger results.
