Summary:
The Riverview School District in Arkansas has only one middle school, Riverview Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently underperformed compared to other middle schools across the state, ranking in the bottom half of Arkansas middle schools for several years.
Riverview Junior High School's academic performance is below the state average in core subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Algebra. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in these areas were around 20-30%, compared to the state averages of 34-39%. The school's Algebra proficiency rate was particularly low at 17.3%, well below the state average of 30.9%.
Despite the school's relatively small student population of 195 and a student-teacher ratio lower than the state average, the school's academic outcomes remain poor. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 77.95% in 2023-2024, suggests the school may be serving a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, which could contribute to the low performance. The school district's spending per student is slightly above the state average, but the resources do not appear to be effectively utilized to address the specific needs of the student population and improve academic achievement.
