Summary:
The Riverbank area has one school, Riverbank Charter School of Excellence, serving kindergarten through grade three. Its available test results cover third-grade English language arts (ELA) and math in 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. In the latest year, 72% of students were proficient in ELA and 78% in math, compared with statewide rates of 48% and 49%. The most important finding is that the school’s third-grade proficiency was well above the state rate in both subjects.
Riverbank Charter School of Excellence is both the highest- and lowest-scoring school in this list simply because it is the only one; that does not show how it compares with local peers. Against New Jersey, its 2025–2026 proficiency was 24 percentage points higher in ELA and 29 points higher in math. SchoolDigger gave the school a 90th-percentile ranking and four stars that year, placing it 137th among 1,331 schools. These are SchoolDigger rankings, not test-score percentages.
Results moved in different directions by subject: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Riverbank’s ELA proficiency rose from 68% to 72%, while math eased from 79% to 78%. Its advantage over the state widened slightly in ELA, from 23.5 to 24.1 points, and narrowed in math, from 29.1 to 28.6 points. Math remained the stronger subject relative to the state, but the gap between Riverbank’s own math and ELA results narrowed from 11 points to 6. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking fell from 95th in 2023–2024 to 89th in 2024–2025, then edged up to 90th in 2025–2026. Context figures include enrollment of 158 and a 10.3 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025; 23% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year. These figures describe the school but do not establish a cause for its results. With only one listed school, comparisons among area schools are not possible.
