Summary

River Valley High School serves 585 students in grades 9–12 in Mohave Valley, Arizona, as part of the Colorado River Union High School District. For 2025–2026, SchoolDigger placed the school at the 26th percentile statewide and gave it 1 star. The clearest concern is mathematics: 14% of students were proficient, 19 percentage points below Arizona’s 33%.

River Valley’s ELA results are stronger than its math results, though they remain below the state: 28% were proficient, compared with 41% statewide, but the school was 4 points above its district’s 24%. In math, River Valley matched the district at 14%. Among nearby schools with reported results, River Valley was slightly above Mohave High School in ELA (28% versus 26%) and slightly below it in math (14% versus 15%). Mohave Accelerated Learning Center had higher results in both subjects, at 58% in ELA and 45% in math. In science, River Valley’s 13% result was below the state’s 19%, but 1 point above the district and Mohave High.

Science proficiency has remained low: River Valley went from 15% in 2022–2023 to 12% in 2023–2024 and 13% in 2024–2025, while its latest gap with the state narrowed to 6 points. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile has recovered from 9 in 2023–2024 to 26, but remains below its 52nd-percentile standing in 2022–2023. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 20.1, compared with a 15.4 average among nearby schools reporting a ratio; its free- or reduced-price lunch rate was 50% in 2022–2023. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also varied: its relative standing for English Language Learner students was at the 91st percentile in 2020–2021, versus 40 overall that year, while its ranking for serving male students fell from the 47th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 8th in 2024–2025. The school’s reported graduation rate was 96% in 2021–2022, above the state’s 77%, but this older figure does not establish current graduation performance; comparable lunch-rate data are unavailable for nearby schools.
