Summary:
Riverside High School is the only high school in Riverside Local, a small district in De Graff, Ohio. It serves grades 7–12 with 260 students, so its results include middle-school tests alongside high-school end-of-course exams. District figures match the school’s on every test score, with the exception of chronic absenteeism.
There is a lot to like here. The graduation rate is 98.2% in 2025–26, a very strong outcome. Social studies is a consistent strength: American Government was 81.8% proficient versus 71.6% statewide, and American History was 80.0% versus 73.2%. Biology reached 75.0% against a state rate of 67.0%, and English II improved from 57.4% to 66.7%, moving from below the state to above it. In 2024–25 the school was above the state in 7 of 10 assessments and ranked in the 61st percentile with 3 stars; in 2025–26 it ranked 45th percentile with 2 stars, similar to the district’s 44th percentile and 2 stars.
Math is the clear worry. Seventh-grade math was 22.6% proficient in 2024–25 and only 15.0% in 2025–26, against a state rate near 49%. Geometry had the largest one-year drop in the data, falling 31.5 points from 51.9% to 20.4%, now 22.9 points below the state. Eighth-grade English language arts fell from 69.0% to 47.7%, and Science 8 slipped from 83.3% to 62.2%, leaving only a narrow edge over the state. Algebra I also declined. Chronic absenteeism is 20.2% at the school versus 15.7% for the district. With small grade cohorts, year-to-year swings should be watched but read cautiously; free/reduced-lunch data is not reported.
