With 244 students enrolled, Riverside Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1, and spends $17,090 per student, which is higher than the state average.

Academically, Riverside Elementary School has struggled, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 387 and 388 out of 574-565 Iowa elementary schools in recent years, earning a 2-star rating out of 5. The school's ISASP test scores show performance below the state average in most subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 66.7% compared to the state average of 64.2%.

One factor that may contribute to the school's academic challenges is the high percentage (72.95%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite these challenges, the school's focus on providing more individualized attention and resources to students, as evidenced by the low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, suggests a commitment to supporting student success.
