Summary

Riviera Elementary is a K–5 school in Kelseyville, California, serving 287 students in Kelseyville Unified. Its test results are below California averages in English language arts (ELA), math and science, yet among the strongest of nearby schools. The clearest takeaway is that Riviera stands out locally—especially in science—even though its results remain below state proficiency levels.

Riviera ranked second among nearby schools in ELA and math, with 36% proficient in ELA and 24% in math; its science result, 30%, was the highest nearby. Nearby-school averages were 22% in ELA, 17% in math and 17% in science. Compared with the state, Riviera was 14 percentage points lower in ELA, 14 points lower in math and 6 points lower in science. It also exceeded district results by 10 points in ELA, 9 in math and 13 in science. Science is its strongest subject in these comparisons, while math has the largest gap from the state. Within Riviera, fourth-grade math (32%) was stronger than fifth-grade math (17%), suggesting the overall math result masks differences between grades.

Results have improved recently, but the longer-term pattern is mixed: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 4 percentage points and math 2, while science fell 1 point overall despite a strong latest-year rebound. Chronic absenteeism has dropped 13 points since 2021–2022, to 27%, but remains above the district’s 22% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger rates Riviera at the 30th percentile statewide with 2 stars for 2025–2026, up from the 12th percentile and 1 star in 2023–2024.
