Best Public Schools in Riverton, IL

The city of Riverton, Illinois is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Riverton Elementary School, Riverton High School, and Riverton Middle School. These schools are part of the Riverton CUSD 14 district, which is ranked 653 out of 811 districts in Illinois and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Among the three schools, Riverton Middle School stands out as the strongest performer, with higher test scores in English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages. However, the school's Mathematics proficiency rates are still below the state average. In contrast, Riverton High School has a relatively high graduation rate of 89%, but its test scores, particularly in Mathematics, are below state averages. Riverton Elementary School has lower test scores compared to the district and state in both subjects.

A significant challenge facing all three schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools serve a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 42.34% to 45.62%. Addressing these issues, along with targeting interventions to support the lower-performing schools, could be key focus areas for the Riverton CUSD 14 district to improve student outcomes.
