Summary:
The Riverside School District in Washington state consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Riverside High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 50% of Washington high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a high graduation rate of 92.3% and strong science proficiency, with 64.86% of students proficient or better on the WCAS assessment. In contrast, Riverside Middle School and Independent Scholar (the alternative school) struggle to match the academic performance of the district and state averages, particularly in Math and Science.
Riverside Elementary also stands out, with above-average performance in English Language Arts and Math, especially in 4th grade. The school's high science proficiency rate across all grades is impressive. However, the significant variation in spending per student, from $9,461 at Independent Scholar to $18,566 at Chattaroy Elementary, suggests potential inequities in resource allocation within the district that may contribute to the disparities in academic performance.
