Summary:
ZIP code 94571 has four schools serving kindergarten through grade 12: three conventional schools and one K–12 alternative school, with 927 students enrolled overall. The alternative school’s 2025–26 test scores are suppressed, so current score comparisons cover the other three schools. Across those schools, math is the clearest area-wide concern: the average proficiency rate was 15%, compared with 38% statewide, a 24-point gap.
The schools stand out in different subjects. D. H. White Elementary had the strongest reported math and science results, at 26% and 24%; its math score was 17 points above the average of the other two schools, and its science score was 5 points higher. Rio Vista High led in ELA, with 43% proficiency—12 points above the average of the other two schools—but had the lowest math score, at 7%, and the lowest science score, at 16%. Riverview Middle scored 31% in ELA, 11% in math, and 23% in science. Rio Vista also reported a 96% graduation rate, above the state’s 88%, alongside chronic absenteeism of 25% versus 18% statewide.
Recent results diverged: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, D. H. White improved in all three subjects, by 6 points in ELA, 3 in math, and 11 in science; Riverview declined by 8, 12, and 5 points, respectively. Rio Vista’s ELA rose 7 points, while math fell 7 and science fell 4. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 statewide rankings put D. H. White and Rio Vista at the 28th percentile and Riverview at the 18th; over two years, D. H. White and Rio Vista rose from the 13th and 14th percentiles, while Riverview fell from the 39th. In 2024–25, student–teacher ratios were 21.6 at D. H. White, 17.8 at Riverview, 16.7 at Rio Vista, and 9.5 at the alternative school. The 2024–25 low-income measure was free/reduced lunch eligible (FRL): 77% at D. H. White and Riverview, 72% at Rio Vista, and 67% at the alternative school.
