Summary

Rivermont Elementary School serves 352 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Chattanooga, TN, within Hamilton County Schools. The school currently ranks in the 58th percentile statewide, earning a 3-star rating and placing 429th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools. That marks a strong rebound from the prior year, when the school ranked in the 34th percentile. Over the past several years, Rivermont has generally performed as a solid mid-range school with occasional spikes, and this year's results show clear upward momentum.

Academically, science is Rivermont's standout subject. In the most recent testing year, 56.6% of students scored proficient in science—about 10 percentage points above both the district and state averages. English language arts also exceeded state and district levels, with 43.2% of students proficient. Math proficiency hit 40%, matching the district average but slightly behind the state's 43%. Compared with nearby schools, Rivermont holds an upper-middle position: it outperforms Hixson Elementary School, Red Bank Elementary School, and DuPont Elementary School by a wide margin, while trailing top local performers like Chattanooga School for the Arts and Sciences Lower and Normal Park Museum Magnet School.

Attendance is another bright spot: just 12.5% of Rivermont students were chronically absent, well below the district's 17.1% and the state's 18.3%. The school also achieves solid results while spending less per student than several lower-performing nearby schools. The clearest academic concern is early-grade math—only 22.2% of third graders scored proficient, compared with 42.6% statewide—though by fifth grade, math proficiency rises above the state average. Outcomes also improved substantially across multiple student groups this past year, suggesting the school's recent gains have broad reach and room to continue.

Thursday, February 9, 2017

I LOVE everything about Rivermont. As a parent, I am confident that my child will be able to thrive at any of the area public or private middle and high schools. The staff, teachers, and administration are excellent, and the state of Tennessee reported that Rivermont has the MOST EFFECTIVE teachers in the ENTIRE county, and some of the best in the state.
