Summary

Riverview Community High School is a public high school in Riverview, MI, serving 854 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Riverview Community School District. This school stands out for its exceptional graduation rate of 97.5%—far above the state average of 84%—and a nearly nonexistent dropout rate, making it one of the most reliable schools in the region for seeing students through to graduation.

Academically, Riverview is a strong performer, especially in reading and writing. For the 2025-2026 school year, 64.4% of 11th graders were proficient in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, well above the state's 52.1% and significantly better than nearby Lincoln Park High School (33.6%) and Ecorse Community High School (15.6%). Riverview even outperforms the affluent Grosse Ile High School in science (39.9% vs. 38.5%) and social studies (53.6% vs. 41.9%). The school also earns a 5-star rating for its support of African American and Special Education students, ranking in the 91st percentile statewide for both groups—a distinction few neighboring schools can claim. All of this is achieved with efficient spending of $12,747 per student, notably less than Roosevelt High School ($16,181) or Southgate Anderson High School ($19,592).

Two areas deserve attention. First, math is a relative weakness: only 26% of 11th graders are proficient in SAT Math, just below the state average of 26.5%. Second, chronic absenteeism, while improved from 76.3% in 2022-2023 to 24.5% in 2024-2025, remains higher than at Trenton High School (20.9%). Despite this, the school's consistency is notable—it has maintained a 4-star rating for a decade, rebounding quickly after pandemic disruptions. For parents seeking a school that combines high graduation rates, strong reading outcomes, and effective support for diverse learners—all without excessive spending—Riverview is a compelling choice that rivals even the most well-funded districts nearby.
