Summary

Riverside Virtual is a K–12 alternative school in Riverside, California, serving 524 students in Riverside Unified. Its 2025–26 all-grade proficiency rates exceeded state and district results in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, and it ranked among the top two of nine nearby schools in all three subjects. The clearest strength is math and science: Riverside Virtual ranked first among the nine in both.

Math is Riverside Virtual’s strongest subject relative to local and larger benchmarks: 52% of students were proficient, 14 percentage points above the state and 18 above the district; its result was also far above the nearby-school average of 13%. Science showed a similar advantage, at 50% proficient—14 points above the state, 17 above the district, and compared with a nearby average of 12%. ELA was strong but less distinctive locally: 56% were proficient, 7 points above the state and 9 above the district, and second among nearby schools behind Zupanic Virtual Academy at 58%. Results vary by grade, too: eighth-grade math reached 67%, 30 points above the state, while third-grade math was 17%, 30 points below it; seventh-grade ELA was also below state and district results.

Results have improved substantially since 2022–23: ELA rose 11 percentage points, math 27, and science 24, while each subject moved from below to above the state. Graduation is a concern to watch: the latest rate was 89%, above the state by 2 points but below the district by 7, and down 7 points from the prior year. For context, the school’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 16.2, near the peer average of 15.6, and 86% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s figures are for Riverside Unified, not the school: the district is ranked 475 of 968 statewide, at the 51st percentile, with 3 stars. Nearby grade-level results are not available for every school, so those comparisons are not always complete.
