Summary
Riverview School is a public middle school at 2465 Waterworks Rd in Huntington, Indiana, serving about 503 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Huntington County Com School Corp. The district ranks 160th of 374 in Indiana (57th percentile, 3 stars), and the school ranks 219th of 486 in 2025–26 (55th percentile, 3 stars) — squarely mid-pack. That is a long slide from 2015–16 and 2016–17, when Riverview was a 4-star, top-15% school; recent years have hovered in the 50s and low 60s percentiles, with a modest rebound followed by some softening.
Locally, Riverview's clearest advantage is over its nearest same-district peer, Crestview Middle School: in 2025–26 all-grade ILEARN results it beat Crestview in ELA (34.07% vs. 31%), math (35.94% vs. 29%) and science (42.58% vs. 38.12%), and ranked 13 percentile points higher overall. Against higher-performing nearby schools — Summit Middle School, Woodside Middle School and Norwell Middle School — it trails substantially in all three subjects, especially ELA. Inside the school, 6th grade math (45.45%) and 6th grade science (42.58%) are strengths, above district and state. The weakest areas are ELA across grades — especially 7th (31.06%) and 8th (33.88%) — and 8th grade math (28.96%), the school's lowest grade-level math result and below the state average.
Chronic absenteeism is the most striking difference. Riverview improved from 29.6% in 2020–21 to 17.6% in 2024–25, but that still exceeds its district (14.8%) and the state (16.7%), and sits far above Norwell Middle School (8.6%), Indian Springs Middle School (7.2%), Summit Middle School (4.2%) and Woodside Middle School (0.4%). About 48% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–25 — higher than most comparison schools — yet resources look adequate: per-pupil spending of $10,502 and a student/teacher ratio of 14.3 are comparable to or better than many nearby schools. Overall, Riverview is a solid, mid-pack school that is ahead of its own district peer, with attendance and targeted ELA and 8th-grade math support as its most promising levers.
