Summary

Riverdale Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Port Byron, Illinois, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 515 students. The school is part of the Riverdale CUSD 100 district, which is ranked 179 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverdale Elementary consistently performs above the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 68.4% compared to the state average of 53.1%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was 62.3% compared to the state average of 38.5%. The school's performance is particularly strong in certain subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who rank among the top in the state. Riverdale Elementary has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating consistent academic excellence.

Riverdale Elementary consistently outperforms the nearby East Moline School District 37 and Silvis School District 34 in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, Riverdale's ELA proficiency rate was 68.4% compared to 35.1% and 44.1% for the nearby schools, respectively. This higher level of academic achievement may be attributed to Riverdale's higher per-student spending, which has increased from $8,098 in the 2020-2021 school year to $11,072 in the 2023-2024 school year, as well as its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.5 to 14.7 students per teacher over the past few years.
