Summary

River View Elementary School is a public elementary school in Plainfield, Illinois, serving 571 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Plainfield School District 202, which is ranked 303 out of 811 school districts in the state.

River View Elementary School has generally performed well, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are higher than the state averages but lower than the district averages. The school's performance is particularly strong in 3rd grade English Language Arts, where it outperforms both the district and the state. Additionally, the school has shown strong performance among African American and English Language Learner students, ranking in the top quartile of Illinois elementary schools for these subgroups in recent years.

However, River View Elementary School faces a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 19.9% in the 2022-2023 school year to 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year. This rate is higher than the state average and is an area of concern for the school. Compared to nearby schools, River View's performance is generally on par with or slightly below other elementary schools in the Plainfield School District 202, but it outperforms some nearby schools in the Troy CCSD 30C district.
