Summary

Riverside Junior High is a grades 7–8 school in Fishers, Indiana, serving 885 students as part of Hamilton Southeastern Schools, and it sits adjacent to its grades 5–6 feeder, Riverside Intermediate School. It is one of the top middle schools in Indiana: for 2025–2026 it ranked 7th of 486 middle schools statewide (99th percentile, 5 stars), while its district ranks 6th of 374 in Indiana. The school's trajectory is strongly upward — it ranked 53rd of 483 in 2020–2021 and has climbed steadily since, earning 5 stars in each recent year after one 4-star year in 2020–2021.

On the 2025–2026 ILEARN, all-grade proficiency was 68.02% in English Language Arts and 65.71% in math, far above state rates in every reported grade and subject. Riverside is slightly above its district in all-grade ELA (about 1.6 percentage points) and slightly below in math (about 2.4 points), though the math gap has narrowed dramatically from about 9.6 points in 2022–2023. Chronic absenteeism is a standout: 3.7% in 2024–2025, compared with 7.3% for the district and 16.7% statewide — the lowest rate among all nearby schools with reported data.

Compared with its same-district grades 7–8 peer, Fishers Junior High School (18th of 486), Riverside ranks higher, posts higher proficiency at every reported grade level, and has roughly half the absenteeism. Among nearby schools, only Clay Middle School of Carmel Clay Schools ranks higher (5th of 486), and the two are close in scores, even though Riverside serves a higher free/reduced-lunch population. Notably, Northview Middle School spends more per student ($15,306 vs. $13,126) yet has far lower proficiency. One caveat: because some nearby schools serve grades 5–6 or 6–8, all-grade comparisons are not perfectly apples-to-apples.
