Summary

Riverbend Elementary School is a K–5 public school at 320 N 51st St in Springfield, Oregon, serving 424 students as part of Springfield School District 19 — the largest school in its nearby comparison group, within a district that ranks 92nd of 141 in Oregon.

For 2025–2026, Riverbend ranked 609th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (14th percentile, 1 star), a modest step up from the 6th percentile and 0 stars in the two years before, but still far below the state median. Proficiency is the lowest among nearby schools: 28.4% in English language arts, 16.9% in math and 11.5% in science. Fifth grade is the sharpest concern, with 22.0% proficient in ELA, 11.5% in science, and math proficiency under 5% (district 25.6%, state 32.4%). Nearby schools show what is possible in the same area: Douglas Gardens ranks at the 82nd percentile, Thurston at the 84th and Ridgeview at the 54th, while Mt Vernon, 1.34 miles away, is closer to Riverbend at the 28th percentile.

Chronic absenteeism was 36.4% in 2024–2025 — better than the district's 39.8% and Riverbend's own 50.1% peak in 2022–2023, but still above the state's 33.5%, meaning more than a third of students miss too much school. Per-student spending ($21,970) is lower than most nearby schools and the student–teacher ratio (16.9) is mid-range, yet Ridgeview spends less and performs much better, suggesting money and class size are not the whole story. Nearly all Riverbend students come from low-income households, as at most nearby schools. Encouragingly, the school's ranking for low-income students rose to the 38th percentile in 2025–2026, and its attendance trend is heading in the right direction.

Been very happy with the progression our child has made since starting kindergarten. The communication and level of involvement from the teachers has been excellent too. Close Quote
