Summary

Riverview Charter School is a public charter elementary and middle school located in Beaufort, South Carolina, serving 698 students from kindergarten through 8th grade. This school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with strong academic performance that exceeds the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

Riverview Charter School's academic excellence is particularly evident in English Language Arts, where proficiency rates range from 65.8% to 80% across grades 3-8, compared to the Beaufort 01 district's 54.8% to 63.3% and the state's 55.7% to 63.5%. The school also has a strong track record of supporting the academic achievement of various student subgroups, including female students, male students, African American students, and white students. However, the school's performance for gifted and talented students is relatively lower, ranking between 67th and 84th out of 105 to 147 elementary schools in the state.

Riverview Charter School outperforms most of the nearby public schools in the Beaufort 01 district, including St. Helena Elementary, Whale Branch Elementary, Lady's Island Elementary, and others. This suggests that Riverview Charter School is providing a high-quality educational experience that is not consistently replicated across the district. However, the school must address the challenge of rising chronic absenteeism, which has increased from 10.5% in the 2021-2022 school year to 22.5% in the 2023-2024 school year, and ensure that it is effectively meeting the needs of all learners, including its gifted and talented students.
