Summary:
The River Valley School District in Wisconsin is home to two elementary schools: River Valley Elementary and River Valley Early Learning Center. While River Valley Elementary has shown gradual improvement in its statewide ranking, it still remains in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools. Both schools have higher per-student spending compared to the state average, yet their academic performance remains below state averages in many areas.
River Valley Elementary has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and has performed below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency on the Forward Exam, with some exceptions in 4th-grade Mathematics and Social Studies. The school has also experienced a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 9.6% in the 2022-2023 school year. In contrast, the River Valley Early Learning Center, which serves pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students, has an even higher chronic absenteeism rate of 12.5%.
The River Valley School District as a whole is ranked 214 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The high spending per student and persistent attendance challenges at both elementary schools suggest the need for a deeper examination of the district's strategies and resource allocation to drive better educational outcomes for its students.
