Summary

Riverview Elementary/Middle is a public school in Memphis, Tennessee that serves grades PK-8 as part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district. With consistently low rankings in the bottom 10% of Tennessee elementary schools over the past several years, Riverview faces significant challenges in academic performance, student attendance, and other key metrics.

Riverview's academic outcomes lag far behind state and district averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 5% of Riverview students were proficient or better in math, compared to 42.2% statewide. Similarly, just 10.7% were proficient in ELA, versus 38.9% across Tennessee. The school also struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 59.5% in recent years. Riverview's student subgroups, including female, male, African American, and low socioeconomic status students, all perform significantly worse than their peers statewide.

While the nearby schools, such as Ida B. Wells Academy and Circles of Success Learning Academy, also generally underperform, they show some variation in academic outcomes compared to Riverview. The high chronic absenteeism, low socioeconomic status of the student population, and relatively high student-teacher ratios at Riverview may be contributing factors to the school's persistent struggles. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for improving educational outcomes at Riverview and across the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district.
