Summary:

Riverton School District is a single elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Riverton, New Jersey. This standout school has significantly higher proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Algebra I performance. With 261 students enrolled, Riverton School District is ranked 280 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Riverton School District's academic excellence is evident across multiple metrics. In 2024-2025, 93.1% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, far exceeding the state average of 44.9%. The school also boasts a 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I end-of-course and 8th grade assessments, compared to the state averages of 38.2% and 72.7%, respectively. While science proficiency rates are lower than ELA and math, they still surpass the state averages, with 39.4% of 5th graders and 12.2% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025.

Despite the school's overall strong performance, there are a few areas of potential concern. The school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, and the relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (13.79%) may suggest that the school serves a more affluent population, raising questions about equity and access. Nevertheless, Riverton School District remains a high-performing elementary school with a focus on academic excellence, particularly in ELA and mathematics.
