Elementary Schools in Kelseyville Unified

The two K–5 elementary schools in Kelseyville Unified serve a small, two-school area where both schools’ latest proficiency results are below state rates. In 2025–2026, their average proficiency was 30% in ELA, 23% in math, and 22% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38%, and 36%. The clearest overall finding is that Riviera Elementary leads Kelseyville Elementary in all three all-grades subjects, but neither school reaches state proficiency in any of them.

Riviera is the stronger all-grades performer: it has 36% proficiency in ELA, 24% in math, and 30% in science, leading Kelseyville by 11, 2, and 17 percentage points, respectively. Kelseyville scores 25% in ELA, 22% in math, and 13% in science; it is 25 points below the state in ELA, 16 in math, and 23 in science. Riviera is closest to the state in science, still 6 points behind. SchoolDigger rates Riviera at the 30th percentile and 2 stars, compared with Kelseyville at the 14th percentile and 1 star. Grade-level results vary: Kelseyville leads in grade 3 math, while Riviera leads in ELA and math in grades 4 and 5.

Recent improvement is concentrated at Riviera: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, its ELA, math, and science results rose by 14, 4, and 19 points. Kelseyville changed by −1 point in ELA, +2 in math, and −2 in science, so the area’s rising averages do not reflect the same progress at both schools. Other reported measures offer context, not an explanation for scores: for 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible was 75% at Kelseyville and 66% at Riviera; student-teacher ratios were 21.7 and 22.0. In 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was 22% at Kelseyville and 27% at Riviera, versus 18% statewide. These comparisons cover just two schools and two years.
