Summary:

The Riverside Local school district in Ohio is home to five elementary schools, serving students from preschool through 5th grade. The district's schools demonstrate a range of academic performance, with a few standout institutions leading the way.

Parkside Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Ohio, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and boasting exceptional test scores, with 91.8% of 3rd graders proficient or better in math and 88.3% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts. Melridge Elementary School also performs well, ranking 535th out of 1,558 schools in the state and demonstrating particularly strong math scores, with 92.7% of 4th graders proficient or better.

While the schools in the Riverside Local district generally outperform state averages in math and English Language Arts, there are some areas for improvement. The district's chronic absenteeism rate of 22.9% is higher than the state average, and the free/reduced lunch rates at Buckeye Elementary (40.36%) and Melridge Elementary (39.73%) suggest the need to address potential equity issues and ensure all students have access to the resources they need to succeed.
