Summary

Riverdale Middle School is a public middle school located in Mt Blanchard, Ohio, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 213 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 Middle School's academic performance, as measured by state test proficiency rates, is generally below the state average and the performance of nearby middle schools like Van Buren Middle School, Bluffton Middle School, and Liberty-Benton Middle School, which often exceed 70% proficiency in Math and English Language Arts. However, the school's performance in Algebra I End of Course exams was a bright spot, with 91.7% proficiency in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average of 59.4%.

Riverdale Middle School's performance varied significantly across different student subgroups, with female and White students generally performing better than their male and non-White counterparts. Students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds struggled the most, ranking in the bottom 50% of Ohio middle schools for these subgroups. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 15.6% in 2024-2025 was significantly higher than the 6.4% rate at the top-performing nearby school, Van Buren Middle School. The school's lower per-student spending and higher student-teacher ratio compared to nearby high-performing schools suggest it may be operating with fewer resources, which could be contributing to its overall academic underperformance.
