Summary

Riverview Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 368 students in grades PK-4 in Marion, Indiana, which is part of the Marion Community Schools district. While the district as a whole is ranked 304 out of 380 in the state and has a 1-star rating, Riverview Elementary consistently outperforms the district on ILEARN test scores, with 31.88% of students proficient or better in ELA and 42.75% in Math, compared to 20.78% and 23.06% for the district, respectively.

However, Riverview Elementary faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 17.8% to 37.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also serves a student population with a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.47% to 72.22% over the past few years, indicating significant economic disadvantages. Despite these challenges, Riverview spends more per student ($11,911 in 2023-2024) compared to the district average, which could be a contributing factor to their higher test scores.

When compared to nearby schools, Eastbrook North Elementary in the Eastbrook Community School Corp district outperforms Riverview Elementary in ELA proficiency, with 43.8% of students proficient or better. Riverview also outperforms the other Marion Community Schools elementary schools, such as Frances Slocum, Allen, and John W. Kendall, on test scores. These comparisons suggest that Riverview Elementary is a relatively strong performer within its district, but faces challenges that may be impacting its overall academic achievement.
