Summary:
Middle schools in Ridgeview CUSD 19 include one school, Ridgeview Junior High School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 107 students. With just one school, there is no school-to-school comparison; the clearest academic concern is grade 8 ELA, where 37% were proficient compared with 63% statewide, a 26-point gap.
The school’s strongest result relative to the state is grade 8 science: 53% were proficient in 2025–2026, about 1 point above the state’s 52%. Attendance is another bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 8%, versus 15% districtwide and 24% statewide. ELA and math are the main areas to watch across all grades: ELA proficiency was 40%, 17 points below the state’s 56%, while math was 24%, 15 points below the state’s 40%. ELA also differs by grade: grade 6 was close to the state, at 58% versus 59%, while grade 8 had the much larger gap.
Results improved year over year in all three reported subject measures, and the school gained ground on the state in each. ELA rose 12 points, from 28% to 40%, while the state rose 3 points; math rose 5 points, from 19% to 24%, while the state rose 1 point. Grade 8 science increased 13 points, from 40% to 53%, moving from below the state to slightly above it. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking rose from 27 to 33 between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026, and its star rating increased from 1 to 2. Context measures include a 13.3:1 student-teacher ratio and 39% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these describe the school but do not explain its results.
