Summary

Riverview STEM Elementary serves 357 students in grades K–8 in Rancho Cordova, within Folsom-Cordova Unified. Its 2025–2026 results stand out: Riverview had the highest all-grade scores among the 10 nearby schools in ELA, math and science, at 80%, 75% and 75%, respectively.

Riverview’s advantage is largest in science and smallest in ELA. Its results exceeded the nearby-school averages by 50 percentage points in science, 47 in math and 44 in ELA. Compared with Mary Deterding Elementary, the next-highest nearby school in each subject, Riverview led by 25 points in science, 21 in math and 15 in ELA. It also scored above district and state results in every subject: its leads over Folsom-Cordova Unified were 27 points in science, 26 in math and 21 in ELA; its leads over California were 39, 37 and 31 points, respectively. Science is its strongest subject against these benchmarks, while ELA is its weakest.

Scores declined from 2024–2025 by 9 points in ELA, 12 in math and 11 in science, though all remain above state results and the school’s state gaps are narrower than in 2022–2023. SchoolDigger ranks Riverview at the 94th statewide percentile with 5 stars, down from the 99th percentile the prior year; it ranks White Students’ school effectiveness at the 75th percentile, down from the 95th, notably below Riverview’s overall standing.
