Summary

Riverview Elementary School serves 465 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Denville, New Jersey, amid a group of nearby elementary schools with varied results and enrollment sizes. Its 2025–2026 scores were above New Jersey averages in every tested grade and subject. The most important qualification is that strong statewide performance does not mean Riverview leads nearby schools across the board: fifth-grade science and several upper-grade math results are local weaknesses.

Riverview’s clearest local strength is third grade: it scored 73% in ELA and 77% in math, compared with nearby-school averages of 63% and 68%. Fourth-grade ELA was also slightly above its nearby average, at 69% versus 64%. By contrast, fourth-grade math was 57% versus a 69% local average, fifth-grade math was 60% versus 69%, and fifth-grade science was 36% versus 51%; Riverview’s science result was the lowest among nearby schools with reported scores. Still, the school exceeded state results in every tested area, by 18.2–28.0 percentage points in ELA, 10.3–28.0 points in math, and 8.4 points in science. It was above the Denville Township K-8 School District in third grade, but below district results in fourth- and fifth-grade ELA and math, as well as science.

Results have improved in third grade but softened in several other areas: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, third-grade ELA rose 8 percentage points and math 7, while fourth-grade ELA fell 13 points and fifth-grade science fell 9. SchoolDigger rated Riverview at the 78th percentile statewide with four stars in 2025–2026, down 7 percentile points from 2020–2021. Its student-teacher ratio was 9.3 in 2024–2025, and 3% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that year. One subgroup result stands out: SchoolDigger placed the school at the 16th percentile statewide for Asian Students in 2025–2026, compared with its overall 78th percentile, indicating a substantially lower statewide ranking for how well it serves that group.
