Summary:

The 29 elementary schools in Riverside Unified serve kindergarten through sixth grade. Their 2025–26 average proficiency was 43% in English language arts (ELA), 36% in mathematics and 28% in science, compared with California averages of 49%, 38% and 36%. The schools are closest to the state in mathematics and furthest behind in science, but the averages hide very large differences from one school to another—that unevenness is the most important finding for families comparing schools.

John F. Kennedy Elementary led in ELA at 67%, while Benjamin Franklin Elementary led in mathematics at 63% and science at 59%. At the other end, Harada Elementary had 22% ELA proficiency, Emerson Elementary had 18% in mathematics, and Liberty Elementary had 8% in science. The distance between the highest and lowest school was about 45 percentage points in ELA and mathematics, and 50 points in science. Franklin and Kennedy also ranked near the top of this group in SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings, at the 84th and 82nd percentiles.

Recent results show modest average movement, with mathematics gaining ground relative to the state while science fell further behind: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, the group’s math average rose about 1 percentage point, while its science average rose by less than 1 point as California’s increased about 3 points. School changes varied: Washington Elementary gained 9 points in math and 14 in science, while Woodcrest Elementary fell 17 points in science. The reported low-income measure is free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–25; school figures ranged from 45% at Lake Mathews Elementary to 93% at Longfellow Elementary. High achievement and this measure do not line up in a simple way: Franklin and Kennedy were top performers at 49% and 57%, while Bryant Elementary had 81% and ELA results close to the state average.
