Summary:
There is one middle school in the Riverdale Local district in Ohio: Riverdale Middle School, which serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 208 students. Because it is the only middle school in the district, most district-level middle-grade results mirror the school's results exactly, with Algebra I End of Course the main exception. The district is ranked 448 of 773 districts statewide (percentile 42, 2 stars), and the school's current rank is 591 of 1,046 (percentile 43, 2 stars), down from 454 of 1,036 (percentile 56, 3 stars) in 2024–2025.
Academically, results are sharply uneven. Seventh grade is the strongest area: 7th grade math is 75.9% proficient versus 48.6% statewide (+27.3 points), and 7th grade ELA is 73.1% versus 62.7% (+10.4 points). Algebra I is also strong at 73.3% proficient, above both the state's 61.6% and the district's 51.5%. By contrast, 8th grade is the weak spot — science at 40.8% (state 61.2%), math at 29.1% (state 52.0%), and ELA at 46.5% (state 58.3%). Sixth grade math is also below state at 39.3% versus 56.2%. Overall, the school is above the state average in 3 of 8 current tests and below in 5.
Parents should know the current year marks a decline: the average across the eight tests dropped from about 61.2% to 53.9% while the state average rose slightly, and six of eight tests fell year over year. The exceptions are 7th grade math (+25.2 points) and 7th grade ELA (+13.1 points), while Algebra I dropped 18.4 points from 91.7% but remains strong. One positive: chronic absenteeism is 14.1%, lower than the district's 16.2%. Free/reduced lunch data is not reported, and spending data ($8,671 per student) dates to 2018–2019.
