Summary

Riverside School is a PK–8 elementary school at 14601 Montrose Ave in Cleveland, serving 493 students in the Cleveland Municipal district — one of the larger schools in its immediate area. The district itself ranks 689th of 773 Ohio districts (11th percentile, 1 star), while Riverside School's own 2025–26 rank is 1143rd of 1560 schools (27th percentile, 1 star), placing it above the district's percentile but still in the bottom third of the state.

Riverside outperforms Cleveland Municipal in every tested subject and grade, but stays below the Ohio average in all of them. For example: 5th grade Science is 39.6% at Riverside vs. 26.7% for the district and 62.7% statewide; 3rd grade Math is 50% vs. 33.6% and 62.1%; 5th grade ELA is 60.4% vs. 41.7% and 70.4%. Chronic absenteeism is 38.0%, better than the district (54.3%) and lower than Mary Church Terrell (46.4%), Valley View Elementary School (58.3%), and Constellation Schools: Westpark Community Elementary (50.6%), yet higher than Garfield Elementary School (29.5%) and Orchard Park Academy (32.7%), and far above the Lakewood City schools (7.0–11.9%). Class sizes are relatively large (18.2 students per teacher) and per-student spending was $11,212 in 2018–19.

After reaching 41st percentile (2 stars) in 2023–24, Riverside slipped to 27th percentile in 2025–26, with 3rd grade Math falling from 77.8% to 50% and 4th grade Math from 70.2% to 50%, even as some upper grades improved (7th grade ELA rose from 42.6% to 48.2%). Absenteeism moved the opposite way, climbing from 24.6% to 38.0%. Results also vary by student group: students with disabilities rank 45th percentile and low-income students 31st, while English learners (25th) and gifted students (23rd, a very small group) rank lower. Nearby, Garfield Elementary School ranks higher overall (41st percentile, 2 stars), and Grant Elementary School in Lakewood City ranks 92nd percentile with 5 stars. Note that free/reduced lunch data are suppressed, the spending figure is dated, and small subgroup sizes make some rankings volatile.

Tuesday, May 9, 2017

This school is unbearably sad. I hope you heed my warning. It's a beautiful new school in the middle of a quiet neighborhood which is quite appealing but the teachers, administration, and fellow parents are a complete joke.

My son is in the advanced class and his teacher sends home a weekly letter that, since week 1, is completely riddled with spelling and grammatical errors. It makes me cringe. She gives at least an hour of homework every night which ranges nonsensically from 4+4 to long division. It's clearly just printed from some random internet page. She has also instructed these young minds that zero is in fact an even number. Are you serious?! I received a call home from the principal that my son was in an "altercation" . It consisted of him (8 years old) going to the bathroom and being punched in the stomach by a 13 year old! The kid was a "problem child" just roaming the hallways I guess. I was happy they contacted me and they seemed to take good care of my son after the incident, but when I went in for conferences and asked the teacher SHE HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. Then clearly realized she had no idea and said "yes the kids use the restroom". Are you joking me?

I've twice came and picked my son up in the car line and there were no teachers or anything. kindergartners and 1st graders just wandering through traffic. Parent's flying up the wrong side of the street to try and pick their kid up faster. I asked my son where the teachers were and he said they were just talking inside and didn't come out today.

Just go to the website for this school. It's a generic webpage generated by the garbage CMSD. Call the number listed. It doesn't even work. Go to the calendar of events. You can't see anything that's on there and there's no times listed for early release days. Guess you just have to know. There is zero communication to parents. You had better be ready to go into the school and pick up flyers. If you do go in, expect to be confronted by an extremely rude office assistant. Truly I don't blame her. You can't expect ONE SINGLE PERSON to handle every person and phone call that comes in. Just one. For a K-8 school.

I thought it looked ok and people seemed nice. I feel regretful my child wasted a year of his life here. Parents who think this school is nice have clearly not seen what a nice school is like. Close Quote
