Summary

Riverview Academy Of Math And Science is a public charter school in Riverview, FL, serving 1,059 students in grades K-8 and has shown a remarkable upward trajectory, rising from a 2-star school five years ago to a consistent 4-star rating in the Hillsborough district.

This school stands out dramatically from its neighbors. In 2025-2026, its ELA proficiency rates across grades 3-8 ranged from 67% to 82%, while nearby schools like Summerfield Crossings Elementary School (37%-48%) and Riverview Elementary School (44%-49%) lagged far behind. Math scores tell a similar story, with Riverview Academy achieving 60% to 82% proficiency, compared to Kids Community College Riverview Southeast (21%-56%) and Creekside Charter Academy (32%-70%). The school also excels in advanced coursework, with 96% proficiency in Algebra 1 and 100% in Biology 1—scores 30-40 points higher than the district average. Notably, the school avoids the typical "middle school slump," with 6th, 7th, and 8th graders posting some of its highest scores. One area for improvement is 8th-grade science, where only 44% of students were proficient, below the state average of 52%.

Chronic absenteeism is a key driver of this success, with a rate of just 16.5%—roughly half the district and state averages, and far lower than neighbors like Ippolito Elementary School (46.3%) and Gibsonton Elementary School (42.3%). The school also operates with impressive efficiency, spending just $8,992 per student, compared to $16,385 at Riverview Elementary and $15,447 at Gibsonton Elementary, yet achieving far better results. This combination of high performance, low absenteeism, and efficient spending makes Riverview Academy a clear academic leader in the area.
