Summary
Riverview Elementary serves 327 students in grades K–6 in Norco, within Corona-Norco Unified. In 2025–26, 37% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 26% in math and 26% in science. Each result was below both the district and California averages: the gaps were 21, 18 and 15 percentage points versus the district, and 12, 12 and 10 points versus the state, respectively. The most important takeaway is that Riverview’s all-grades proficiency fell short of both benchmarks in every tested subject.
Results vary sharply by grade, with fifth grade a standout and math a particular concern in several grades. Fifth graders reached 68% proficiency in ELA and 54% in math—above the state and district in both subjects and above every nearby school with reported fifth-grade results. By contrast, third-grade math was 17%, the lowest among nearby schools with same-grade data; third-grade ELA was 19%, above only Troth Street Elementary. Sixth-grade math was also low at 11%, below all nearby schools reporting results. Across all grades, Riverview scored below the 10 nearby schools’ average by 7 points in ELA, 11 in math and 3 in science, making science its closest subject to nearby-school results.
Scores improved overall from 2022–23 to 2025–26—by 7 points in ELA, 12 in math and 4 in science—but all three slipped in the latest year, and their gaps from state results widened. SchoolDigger ranks the school 3,681st of 5,804 California schools, at the 37th percentile with 2 stars; its statewide measure for how well the school serves White students is notably lower, at the 10th percentile. Riverview’s student-teacher ratio was 18.1 in 2024–25, below the 20.7–24.5 range at nearby schools with data, while chronic absenteeism was 24% in 2025–26, higher than the district’s 14% and the state’s 18%. The school reported 84% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25; these figures provide context, not an explanation for test results.
