Summary

Riverbend Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Springfield, Oregon, serving 475 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Springfield School District 19, which is ranked 86 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverbend Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. The school significantly underperforms the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 20.3% of 3rd graders, 11.8% of 4th graders, and 22.7% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 40.3%, 42.1%, and 46.7%, respectively. Riverbend also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% to 35% of Oregon elementary schools for different subgroups.

While Riverbend Elementary School faces significant challenges, there are some nearby schools within the Springfield School District 19 that perform significantly better, such as Douglas Gardens Elementary School and Thurston Elementary School, which both rank in the top 25% of Oregon elementary schools. These higher-performing schools tend to have lower rates of chronic absenteeism and a lower percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, suggesting that factors such as student demographics and school climate may play a role in academic achievement. By addressing the root causes of Riverbend's underperformance and implementing targeted strategies to improve student outcomes, the school and district can work towards providing a more equitable and effective education for all students.
