Summary

Riverview Charter School is a public charter school in Beaufort, SC, serving 694 students in grades K-8 within the Beaufort 01 district. This school stands out as a high-performing option, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 87th percentile of elementary schools statewide for the 2025-2026 school year—a significant jump from the previous year's 69th percentile.

Academically, Riverview consistently outperforms both its district and the state. In English Language Arts, proficiency rates range from 75% to 85% across grades, compared to district averages in the 56-64% range. The math results are even more striking: 8th-grade math proficiency hits 75%, nearly 30 points higher than the district (45.3%) and state (44.2%) averages. Perhaps most impressive is the school's Algebra 1 End-of-Course exam performance, where 97% of students scored proficient in 2024-2025, and the school achieved a perfect 100% proficiency rate in the two prior years. This exceptional preparation for advanced coursework is a hallmark of the school.

Riverview also excels in areas beyond test scores. Chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at 10.1%, less than half the district (21.3%) and state (22.3%) averages, indicating strong student engagement. The school achieves these results while spending $18,820 per student—significantly less than nearby schools like Beaufort Elementary ($29,935) and Lady's Island Elementary ($28,727). While the school serves its diverse student body well, with strong rankings for low-income students (86th percentile), one area for improvement is its Gifted and Talented program, which ranked in the 20th percentile—suggesting the school may not be providing enough challenge for its highest-achieving students. Overall, Riverview is a cost-effective, high-performing school that stands out among its peers in the Beaufort area.
