Riverview Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Riverview Junior/Senior High School is a public school located in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 396 students. The school is part of the Riverview School District, which is ranked 149 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverview Junior/Senior High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 125th in 2018-2019 to 429th in 2023-2024. The school's performance on PSSA and Keystone Exams is mixed, with some subject areas performing above the state average (e.g., PSSA Science and ELA) and others below (e.g., Keystone Algebra I). Particularly concerning is the school's PSSA Math performance, with only 53.8% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 40.4%. The school's Keystone Algebra I proficiency rate of 29.6% is also significantly lower than the state average of 41.6%.

Riverview Junior/Senior High School's academic performance is generally lower than that of nearby high-performing schools, such as Hampton High School and Fox Chapel Area High School, which rank much higher in the state. However, Riverview outperforms some nearby schools with lower socioeconomic status, such as Pittsburgh Westinghouse and Penn Hills Senior High School, in certain subject areas. The school's significant increase in per-student spending over the past few years may indicate a concerted effort to improve resources and support, but the academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.

Open Quote The teachers, guidance counselors and principals are great. The small class size is good. The students can be involved in many activities due to the small size of the school. They need improvement in meeting the needs of special education children. Focus is more on the more intelligent children--not the middle or special needs children. Close Quote

Open Quote Caring teachers, individualized attention, accessible and helpful principals and counselors. Great education and small class sizes. A lot of extracurriculars and wonderful opportunities, especially for such a small school. Close Quote

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.
