Summary:

Middle schools in Riverside consist of one school, Riverside Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 143 students. Its most important academic concern is math in grades 7 and 8: proficiency was 8 percentage points below Kansas in grade 7 and 12 points below in grade 8.

Because it is the only school in the area list, Riverside Middle School is both the highest and lowest, but that is not a comparison with other nearby schools. Its strongest results were grade 7 ELA and grade 6 math, each about 2 percentage points above Kansas. Its sharpest shortfall was grade 8 math, at 28% proficient compared with 40% statewide. Across all grades, the school was below Kansas in ELA (42% versus 46%), math (33% versus 41%), and science (35% versus 38%). Science was a relative strength compared with the Riverside district: the school was 2 points higher, though 3 points below the state.

Recent changes show progress in ELA and science but a worsening math comparison. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA proficiency at Riverside Middle School rose 4 percentage points and science rose 4, narrowing their state gaps by 2 and 8 points. Math fell 4 points while Kansas rose 2, widening the school’s gap by 6 points. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking was 41 in 2023–24, 45 in 2024–25, and 41 in 2025–26, so it ended where it began. Other context: the student-teacher ratio is 12.9, the free/reduced-lunch rate was 58% in 2024–25, and chronic absenteeism was 15%, below the district’s 19% and the state’s 18%.
