Summary:
The Riverview Gardens school district in Missouri operates 13 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 363 out of 367 school districts in the state and is rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges across the system.
While the overall performance of the district is concerning, a few schools stand out as bright spots. Moline Elementary has the highest proficiency rates in math and English language arts across multiple grade levels, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. Similarly, Lemasters Elementary and Glasgow Elementary also demonstrate higher than average proficiency in certain grade levels, suggesting that it is possible for Riverview Gardens students to achieve at higher levels.
However, the district faces significant challenges, including low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and extremely high chronic absenteeism across all schools. Proficiency rates on state assessments are very low, with most schools scoring under 20% proficient in math and English language arts, well below state averages. The district's high poverty levels, as indicated by 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggest that resource challenges may be a contributing factor to the low academic outcomes. While the overall picture is bleak, the data reveals that with the right strategies and support, some Riverview Gardens schools have the potential to improve and better serve their students.
