Summary

Riverside Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Toledo, Ohio, with 336 students enrolled. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates and consistently low student performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subjects.

Riverside Elementary students perform well below the Toledo City and Ohio state averages on the Ohio State Tests, with only 34.2% of 3rd graders proficient in Math compared to 36.4% for Toledo City and 64.4% for Ohio. The school's performance has been consistently low over the past several years, with most grades scoring under 30% proficiency in Math and English Language Arts. Riverside Elementary also has particularly low performance for its African American, Hispanic, and Special Education student subgroups compared to state averages.

The challenges facing Riverside Elementary appear to be part of a broader pattern affecting the Toledo City district, as nearby schools such as Sherman, Leverette, and Garfield Elementary also exhibit similarly low performance on state tests and high chronic absenteeism rates. However, the nearby Chase STEM Academy shows somewhat higher performance, suggesting that a STEM-focused curriculum and approach may be more effective in this area.
