Summary

Riverside High School is a public high school located in Avon, Mississippi, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 363 students. The school is part of the Western Line School District, which is ranked 84 out of 130 districts in Mississippi and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Riverside High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 56th out of 232 high schools in 2024-2025 (4 stars) to as low as 186th out of 226 high schools in 2022-2023 (1 star), indicating inconsistent performance compared to other high schools in the state. However, the school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 81.3% to 89.4% over the past few years. Concerning metrics include high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.5% to 39.9%, which are significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Riverside High School to nearby schools, such as Leland High School and Simmons High School, which have higher test scores and statewide rankings, and Greenville High School, which has the lowest performance among the nearby schools, Riverside High School faces unique challenges. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.7 to 15.5, suggests opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student performance and overall school outcomes.
