Summary

Riverview Elementary is a public school in Fort Mill, SC, serving 711 students in grades PK–5 as part of the top-ranked York 04 school district. The school holds a solid 4-star rating and ranks 137th out of 649 elementary schools statewide, placing it comfortably above the state average in most subjects, though it trails many of its immediate district peers.

Riverview stands out for its exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 11:1 and the highest per-pupil spending in the area at $16,907—about 25% higher than nearby schools like Pleasant Knoll Elementary ($13,580) or Springfield Elementary ($12,284). However, this investment hasn't translated into top-tier results. In 3rd grade ELA, Riverview scores 71.6% proficiency versus the district's 80.5%, and in 4th grade math, it hits 67.2% compared to the district's 77.4%. By contrast, nearby River Trail Elementary and Kings Town Elementary achieve 90%+ proficiency with less funding, making Riverview something of an outlier in a district where excellence is the norm.

The most pressing concern is a sharp rise in chronic absenteeism, which jumped from 5.2% to 11.6% in just one year—now higher than the district average of 8.5% and far above Doby's Bridge Elementary (3.1%) or River Trail (3.9%). This trend likely contributed to the school's rank drop from 95th to 137th. Additionally, Riverview shows significant gaps in serving students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 42nd percentile for that subgroup. Science performance has also been inconsistent, dropping from 70.5% to 57% proficiency in one year. While Riverview remains a good school by state standards, families should be aware that it faces challenges in attendance, equity, and keeping pace with its high-achieving neighbors.

THE most discriminatory school, as well as district, when it comes to serving the best interests of special needs students. The K-2 special education teacher is a complete disaster using a mosh-posh of antiquated teaching ideas to "teach" all special needs children in the same cookie-cutter fashion. If you want your child with special needs to be alienated, segregated, discriminated against, and dumbed down then Riverview is the place for you! Close Quote
