of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 12% of California elementary schools

Summary

Riviera Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 287 students in the Kelseyville Unified district, which serves a community in Lake County where many families face economic challenges.

Academically, the school faces significant hurdles, with student proficiency in English, math, and science well below state averages, and it ranks in the bottom 12% of all California elementary schools. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, with over a quarter of students missing too much school, though this rate is notably better than at many nearby schools like Burns Valley or Pomo. Performance has been volatile, showing a sharp decline after a brief improvement two years ago, and there are puzzling gaps between grades, such as 4th graders performing much better in math than 5th graders.

Interestingly, Coyote Valley Elementary, a school just 13 miles away in the Middletown Unified district, performs far better with higher test scores and lower absenteeism, despite having a lower percentage of students in its free lunch program and spending significantly less per student. This contrast, along with the fact that Kelseyville Elementary faces similar struggles, suggests the challenges at Riviera may be part of broader district-wide patterns rather than issues unique to the school itself.
