Summary

Riverside Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Milwaukie, Oregon, serving 337 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the North Clackamas School District, which is ranked 54 out of 140 districts in the state.

While Riverside Elementary has higher spending per student compared to nearby schools like View Acres Elementary and Candy Lane Elementary, its academic performance lags behind. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.1% to 38.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. Riverside's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are also generally lower than district and state averages, with wide performance gaps between different student subgroups.

Addressing the root causes of high absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions to support underperforming student groups could be key focus areas for improvement at Riverside Elementary. Ensuring equitable practices and optimizing resource allocation may also help the school better serve its diverse student population and improve overall academic outcomes.
