Summary

Riverbend School is a public middle school located in Pacific, Missouri, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 419 students. The school is part of the Meramec Valley R-III School District, which is ranked 184 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverbend School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.4% to 29.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby Pacific Intermediate School at 22.4%. The school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as white students and special education students, has been in the bottom half of Missouri middle schools, while its low-income students have performed relatively well, ranking in the top 15% of Missouri middle schools for this subgroup.

Riverbend School's academic performance has been mixed, with mathematics and science proficiency rates below the state and district averages, while English Language Arts proficiency has been more variable. Compared to the nearby Crestview Middle School, which is part of the higher-performing Rockwood R-VI School District, Riverbend School's performance is generally lower. Despite relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, the school has not consistently translated these resources into strong academic outcomes, suggesting the need to evaluate its resource allocation and instructional practices.
