Summary

Riverside Intermediate is a public elementary school in Elwood, Kansas, serving grades 3–5, with 142 students. In 2025–26, its overall proficiency rates were above both state and district rates in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. But schoolwide results mask substantial differences by grade: fourth-grade ELA is a standout, while fifth-grade ELA and fourth-grade math are the clearest academic weak spots.

Science is Riverside’s strongest schoolwide result against benchmarks: 46% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide and 33% in the Riverside district. Yet it was not the nearby leader in fifth-grade science: Riverside’s 46% was below Doniphan West Elementary School at 50% and Troy Elementary at 47%, but above Atchison Elementary at 23%. Grade-level results are mixed: Riverside led the nearby schools in fourth-grade ELA at 61%, but its fifth-grade ELA rate of 39% was below all three; in math, it led in fifth grade at 49%, while its fourth-grade rate of 35% was below Troy’s 57%. Overall, its results were above state and district averages, but did not make it a consistent nearby leader.

Results over time show ELA rising from 45% in 2022–23 to 50% in 2025–26, while math slipped from 44% to 42%; Riverside’s advantage over the state narrowed in both subjects. Science rose from 32% to 46%, but fluctuated sharply, including a fall to 24% in 2024–25. SchoolDigger rated Riverside at the 46th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26, below its 63rd-percentile high in 2023–24 but above its 21st-percentile low in 2020–21. Its student-teacher ratio was 12.4, and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 59%—higher than the nearby-school average of 51%. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also differ notably: Special Education Students ranked at the 80th percentile, compared with 46th overall, while White Students ranked at the 24th percentile, down from 60th in 2023–24.
