Riverside High School also maintains a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 81.5% to 92.3% over the past five years, which is generally higher than the surrounding schools like Rogers High School and On Track Academy.

While Riverside High School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade, its performance on various metrics tends to be stronger for female students and white students compared to male students and other racial/ethnic subgroups. The school's spending per student has increased in recent years, which may have contributed to its improved performance, but its student-teacher ratio has also increased slightly, which could impact the level of individual attention and support available to students. Overall, Riverside High School appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within its district, with opportunities for continued improvement, particularly in addressing performance gaps between different student subgroups.

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.
