Summary

Riverview Elementary is a public elementary school located in Murfreesboro, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 364 students. The school is part of the Hertford County Schools district, which is ranked 183 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverview Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of North Carolina elementary schools based on the statewide SchoolDigger ranking. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on End-of-Grade (EOG) tests, is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Riverview Elementary's proficiency rates in mathematics were 46.3% for 3rd grade, 38.5% for 4th grade, and 43.6% for 5th grade, compared to the state averages of 64.1%, 58.9%, and 59.3%, respectively. The school's performance also lags behind nearby schools in the Hertford County district, such as Ahoskie Elementary and Bearfield Primary, as well as schools in other districts like Central Elementary in Northampton County and Buckland Elementary in Gates County.

Riverview Elementary has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools in the Hertford County district, which have free/reduced-lunch rates ranging from 54% to 99%. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with the school performing relatively better for African American students and English Language Learners compared to other subgroups, but still lagging behind state and district averages. Additionally, Riverview Elementary appears to have a strong special education program, with the school's disabled students ranking 381 out of 646 North Carolina elementary schools in the 2020-2021 school year. However, the school's academic performance has generally declined over the past several years, indicating that the school may need to implement more targeted interventions and strategies to support student learning and improve educational outcomes.
