Summary:
Riverview CCSD 2 is a small school district in Illinois that contains only one school, Riverview Elementary School. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and is located in a predominantly low-income area.
Riverview Elementary School has consistently performed poorly on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science well below the state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 33.3% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 53.1%, and just 18.5% were proficient in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 38.5%. The school's science proficiency rates are also low, with only 22.2% of 5th graders and 31.6% of 8th graders meeting or exceeding standards.
Despite the school's low performance, it appears to have relatively high spending per student at $14,976 for the 2023-2024 school year, and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.2. However, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 56.94% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which could be a contributing factor to its academic challenges. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the school's poor performance and identify potential strategies for improvement.
