Summary

Riverview Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Shelley, Idaho, serving grades 3-4 with a total enrollment of 371 students. This high-performing school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, with a current ranking of 27 out of 337 schools and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverview Elementary School has shown strong academic performance, particularly in math and English language arts (ELA), with students outperforming the Shelley Joint District and the state of Idaho. In the 2024-2025 school year, 74.4% of Riverview students were proficient or better in ISAT/Math, compared to 44.4% for the district and 43.1% for the state. Similarly, 71% of Riverview students were proficient or better in ISAT/ELA, compared to 59% for the district and 53.9% for the state. Riverview Elementary has also maintained relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 8.1% to 17.1% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average.

Interestingly, Dean Goodsell Elementary and Sunrise Elementary, which are also part of the Shelley Joint District, do not perform as well as Riverview Elementary in both math and ELA proficiency. This suggests that Riverview is a standout among the nearby schools in the Shelley area. Additionally, Riverview Elementary's spending per student ($6,660 in 2018-2019) is higher than the state average, which may contribute to its strong academic performance, and the school has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 19.3 to 25.2 over the past few years.
