Summary

Riverview Elementary School is a K–4 school with 393 students in Marion, Indiana, serving a high-poverty community as part of Marion Community Schools. Riverview ranked 741st of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–26 (27th percentile, 1 star), down from 667th (2 stars) in 2024–25 and 656th (2 stars) in 2023–24. While that places it in the bottom third of the state, it remains above its district's overall standing.

Compared with the other Marion K–4 schools, Riverview is the second-strongest of four. Its all-grade proficiency rates in 2025–26 — 26.5% in English/language arts, 37.61% in math and 28.81% in science — are above district averages and trail only John W. Kendall Elementary School, while Allen Elementary School and Frances Slocum Elementary School fall further behind. Riverview also has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate among the four. Against nearby out-of-district schools such as Sweetser Elementary School and Eastbrook South Elementary, however, Riverview trails in both ELA and math, and its absenteeism and poverty rates are higher than all of those peers.

Inside the school, the clearest academic concerns are third-grade reading and math overall. Third-grade ELA proficiency was 18.97% versus 40.8% statewide, and all-grade math has declined from 44.85% in 2022–23 to 37.61% in 2025–26. Chronic absenteeism, at 21.9% in 2024–25, is well above the state rate and far above nearby schools such as Sweetser (6.8%) and Park Elementary School (3.3%), though it improved from 32.3% the year before. Despite having the highest per-student spending among its Marion peers ($11,911) and a higher student–teacher ratio (17.4), results remain modest. The most actionable priorities appear to be early literacy, math, and attendance.
