Summary

Riverdale High School is a public high school located in Mt Blanchard, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 320 students. The school is part of the Riverdale Local District, which is ranked 381 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverdale High School has maintained a strong 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 91.1% to 97.4% over the past few years, which is a positive metric. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.3% to 23.2% in recent years, which is an area of concern. The school's test scores on the Ohio State Tests show a mixed performance, with the school performing well in subjects like American Government and American History, but struggling in subjects like Geometry and Algebra I, where proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state average. Riverdale High School's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with male students generally performing better than female students, and white students performing better than low socioeconomic status students.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Liberty-Benton High School, which is located about 15 miles away, Riverdale High School generally performs in the middle to lower range across various metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. Riverdale High School's spending per student ($10,014 in 2018-2019) is on par with the nearby schools, suggesting that the school's performance is not solely a function of funding. However, the school's student-teacher ratio has increased from 18.6 in 2021-2022 to 20.8 in 2023-2024, which may be contributing to the school's challenges in supporting certain student subgroups. Additionally, Riverdale High School has an exceptionally high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 99.06% to 99.13% in recent years, indicating that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which can present additional challenges in terms of academic support and resources.
