Summary

Riverview School is a PK–8 school in Glenwood Springs, CO, serving 383 students in the Roaring Fork School District Re-1, a mid-tier district ranked 54th of 115 in Colorado. Riverview itself earns a 1-star rating and sits in the 20th percentile of elementary schools statewide — a much lower position than its district's overall 3-star standing. The school's most recent CMAS results show 26.1% proficiency in ELA and 23.7% in math, compared with district rates of 37.1% and 31.5%.

The gaps are especially wide in early elementary math: only 16.2% of 4th graders were proficient, less than half the district rate of 33.4%. The contrast with Sopris Elementary School, located just 2 miles away, is dramatic — Sopris posted 44.4% ELA and 48.6% math proficiency with a similar enrollment. Even schools in the lower-ranked Garfield School District Re-2, such as Kathryn Senor Elementary School and Cactus Valley Elementary School, outperform Riverview in math.

Riverview serves a significantly more economically disadvantaged population than nearby schools: 71.8% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, up from 58.9% three years ago, and chronic absenteeism remains elevated at 28.8%. There is encouraging momentum, however. Math proficiency has climbed from 16.1% to 23.7% since 2023–24, ELA from 20.2% to 26.1%, and absenteeism is trending downward. Even so, the school's statewide rank slipped from the 29th to the 20th percentile last year, a reminder that gains have not yet outpaced the rest of Colorado.
