Riverton

Riverton has three public schools serving students from prekindergarten through grade 12: Riverton Elementary, Riverton Middle, and Riverton High. Across the schools, the latest all-grades averages are 43% in ELA, 27% in math, and 31% in science, compared with state results of 46%, 41%, and 38%. Math is the clearest area-wide concern: every school is below the state, and the three-school average trails by 14 percentage points.

Riverton Elementary leads the latest results in all three subjects, with 49% in ELA, 30% in math, and 38% in science; it is 3 points above the state in ELA but 11 below in math. Riverton Middle is lowest in each subject, at 38% in ELA, 23% in math, and 22% in science—8, 18, and 16 points below state results. Riverton High falls between them in the latest results. Science shows the widest school-to-school spread: Elementary is 16 points above Middle. High also stands out on other measures: its 2023–24 graduation rate was 95%, versus 90% statewide, and its chronic absenteeism was 3%, compared with 18% statewide.

ELA is improving, while math is moving further from the state benchmark. The average ELA result rose from 37% to 43% between 2024–25 and 2025–26, narrowing the average gap with the state from 7 points to 3; all three schools improved, led by High’s 10-point gain. The math average fell from 30% to 27%, and its gap with the state widened from 9 to 14 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rankings fell from 41 to 32 for Elementary and 59 to 47 for High, while Middle rose from 17 to 27. Middle has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 10.4, compared with 12 at Elementary, but also the lowest test results; these figures do not sort neatly together. High has no 2024–25 science result for comparison.
