Summary

Riverview Elementary is a public elementary school in Farmington, Minnesota, serving 585 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Farmington Public School District, which is ranked 246 out of 446 districts in the state.

Riverview Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools, with performance on state assessments generally below the state and district averages in both math and reading. However, the school stands out in its performance for Hispanic students, ranking in the top 18-56 out of 239-249 Minnesota elementary schools for this subgroup in the past 2 school years. The school has also seen a significant increase in its free and reduced lunch rates, from 9.91% in 2021-2022 to 19.15% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing population of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Riverview Elementary is located in close proximity to several higher-performing elementary schools, such as Kennedy Elementary, East Lake Elementary, and Lake Marion Elementary, which consistently outperform Riverview on state assessments and have higher overall rankings. This suggests that Riverview may need to closely examine the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools to identify areas for improvement.

Thursday, February 12, 2015

Everything about this school is out of control. Teachers are allowed to yell, argue, point fingers, and scare these children. The office staff is disgustingly rude! Recess is a joke, the supervision of these children is minimal at best. Going to them with a concern will start with understanding and leave you feeling blown off. Close Quote

The administration is poorly run has very poor communication with parents and makes frequent mistakes involving enrollment and scheduling. Close Quote

The current rating for Riverview is misleading. The staff are amazing! My son is challenged with a rigorous curriculum. The school promotes a positive culture and all events are well attended. I believe Riverview is a wonderful place for children to grow, learn and be successful. Close Quote
