Summary

Riverdale Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Mt Blanchard, Ohio, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 223 students. The school is part of the Riverdale Local District, which is ranked 381 out of 828 school districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverdale Elementary School has consistently performed above the state average in several subject areas, including Mathematics and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 82.7%, compared to the state average of 64.4%. However, the school's performance in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts has been more mixed, with proficiency rates ranging from 49.1% to 80.3%, sometimes below the state average. The school's performance for its gifted and talented students is noteworthy, as it outranks many of the nearby schools like South Elementary, Jefferson Primary School, and East Elementary School in this category.

One area of concern for Riverdale Elementary School is its relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.0% to 15.6% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Addressing this issue could be an important focus for the school to further improve its overall academic outcomes. While Riverdale Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the nearby schools in the Upper Sandusky Exempted Village and Findlay City districts, its exceptional performance for gifted and talented students is a notable strength.
