Enrollment is 481 at River Valley Middle School, 455 at River Valley High School, and 402 at Liberty Elementary School. The district ranks 327 of 773 in Ohio, or the 58th percentile with 3 stars. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for all three schools, and per-student spending figures date from 2018–2019.

River Valley High School holds the strongest current rank (316 of 795, 60th percentile, 3 stars), a 100% graduation rate, and standout social studies results — American Government 85 and American History 86.9, both roughly 13–14 points above the state. But its chronic absenteeism is 17.0%, the highest of the three and well above the district's 11.2%, and its Algebra I score of 51.4 trails both district and state. River Valley Middle School has the lowest absenteeism at 9.7% plus strong Algebra I (75), 8th Grade Science (76), and 6th grade math and ELA, though its 7th and 8th grade math and ELA fall below state. Liberty Elementary School is the lowest ranked (49th percentile, 2 stars) but improved from the 39th percentile; its 5th grade science and ELA beat state, while 4th Grade ELA (51.6) lags well behind district and state.

Spending and staffing are relatively close across the three schools, and science is a bright spot at every grade level. Overall, the high school ranks best but faces attendance and Algebra I concerns, the middle school leads on attendance, and the elementary school is improving yet still shows clear grade-level gaps.
