Summary

Riverview High School is a large public high school in Riverview, FL, serving 2,387 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Hillsborough County School District, with about 29% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.

Riverview High School stands out for its consistently high graduation rate, which has remained above 93% for five straight years—a level of sustained excellence that surpasses many nearby schools. For example, while Newsome High School has a slightly higher rate (98.6%), its performance can fluctuate more. Riverview also performs well in core subjects like Biology 1 (76% proficient) and US History (81% proficient), outperforming schools such as Jule F. Sumner High School and Brandon High School. However, the school faces a notable challenge with chronic absenteeism (35%), which is higher than the state average and double that of top performers like Bell Creek Academy (18.2%). This absenteeism likely holds back the school from achieving a higher state ranking.

An interesting finding is Riverview's persistent weakness in Algebra 1, where only 51% of students are proficient—well below the district and state average of 63%. This contrasts sharply with its strong Geometry scores (57% proficient). The school also shows a striking contrast with nearby Bell Creek Academy, a 5-star charter school just 2.5 miles away, which outperforms Riverview in every subject (e.g., 9th Grade ELA: 89% vs. 62%). This difference may reflect varying student demographics, as Bell Creek has a much lower free/reduced lunch rate (8.44% vs. 29.12%). Overall, Riverview is a solid mid-tier school with a strong graduation record, but addressing absenteeism and Algebra 1 performance could unlock significant improvement.

Open Quote This school is amazing! HUGE school with small school mentality. The Drama club will knock your socks off, most recently their version of High School Musical was AMAZING!! And they invited the local Sessums Elementary students for free. The sports teams are fierce. The academics are off the charts. Looking to get into a real college and become fully prepared, Riverview is the school for you!

Highschool is hard, no matter where you fit it. But the staff at Riverview really take the time to make certain everyone fits in. How they manage personalized attention for all these students I don't think I'll ever understand.

Thank you RHS! You ROCK! Close Quote
