Summary

Riverview Elementary is a public K-8 school in Parlier, California, serving 490 students as part of the Kings Canyon Joint Unified School District. Riverview consistently outperforms the district and state in academic assessments, with 60.34% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 45.58% in Mathematics, compared to 55.86% and 42.14% for the district, respectively.

Riverview's strong performance extends across student subgroups, including Hispanic and low-income students. The school has also made progress in reducing chronic absenteeism, from 24.9% in 2022-2023 to 9.7% in 2023-2024. However, this rate remains higher than the state average of 6.4%. Riverview spends relatively more per student, ranging from $15,599 to $18,387 in recent years, with a student-teacher ratio of 23:1.

While Riverview outperforms most nearby schools in the Kings Canyon district, the high-performing Clay Elementary in the Clay Joint Elementary School District serves as a benchmark, with significantly higher academic achievement across the board. This difference may be partly attributed to Clay Elementary's lower percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, at 20% compared to Riverview's and the Kings Canyon district's higher rates.
