Summary

Riverview Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Elkhart, Indiana, serving 439 students as part of Elkhart Community Schools. For 2025–2026, it ranked 535th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 47th percentile, with 2 stars — placing it well above its district, which ranks in the 15th percentile statewide. Its ILEARN proficiency is roughly double the district average in English language arts (41.04% vs. 20.62%), math (48.55% vs. 24.73%), and science (38.71% vs. 19.32%).

Among nearby Elkhart Community Schools, Riverview leads in ELA and science and trails only Monger Elementary School in math. It is also competitive with the higher-ranked Concord East Side Elementary School. Chronic absenteeism is a major strength at 13.5% — below the state's 16.7% and far below the district's 28.2%, down from 39.1% in 2020–2021. Riverview spends $11,863 per student, less than most nearby Elkhart schools, while producing stronger proficiency. Keep in mind the school is mid-state rather than top-tier: it peaked at the 60th percentile in 2023–2024 before slipping to 47th.

Results vary by grade. Fourth grade is the bright spot: ELA 53.23% and math 58.06% both beat state averages, and all-grade science climbed to 38.71% from 28.83% a year earlier. Still, Riverview is below the state in 3rd-grade ELA and math, 5th-grade ELA, and 4th-grade science. The clearest concern is 5th-grade social studies, where proficiency fell to 19.23% — below the district's 20.97% and far below the state's 47.20%. Overall, Riverview is a solid mid-state school with real strengths in math, science, 4th grade, and attendance, and clear room to grow in early literacy and 5th-grade subjects.
