Summary

Riverview Intermediate School is a 914-student school serving grades 3–5 in Sartell, Minnesota, the only intermediate building in the Sartell-St. Stephen School District and the largest elementary in its immediate area. It holds a 4-star rating, part of a district rated 5 stars and ranked 32nd of 458 Minnesota districts, and its free/reduced-lunch rate of 21.88% is the lowest among nearby schools. Because it is the district's only grades 3–5 building, its results effectively represent the district's grade 3–5 performance.

Academically, Riverview leads every nearby school in all three tested subjects — 65.4% in math, 59.3% in reading, and 27.1% in science, against statewide figures of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. The next-best nearby school, Pleasantview Elementary, posts 47.0% in math; Mississippi Heights Elementary 46.7%; Westwood Elementary 39.0%; Madison Elementary 29.8%; and Lincoln Elementary 12.1%. Math is the standout strength, holding roughly 20 points above the state for four straight years. Subgroup results reinforce that: special-education students rank at the 82nd percentile and low-income students at the 72nd — both near or above the school's own 76th-percentile overall standing.

Two trends are worth watching. Riverview's state percentile has slipped from 86th to 76th over three years, and its reading advantage over the state has narrowed from +16.1 points to +10.7, leaving it marginally below its district's figure. Science has converged to roughly the state average after running 16–25 points above it, though the state and district fell sharply over the same period, suggesting a broader test or standards change. Note also that Benton-Stearns Education Pioneers, 0.4 miles away, has proficiency figures suppressed by the state — those values are unknown, not zero.
