Summary

Rivermont Elementary School is a public elementary school in Chattanooga, Tennessee, serving 383 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hamilton County School District, which is ranked 87 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rivermont Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Hamilton County and Tennessee state averages in academic subjects like Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 23.1% of Rivermont students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 39.7% for the county and 42.2% for the state. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.2% to 21.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Rivermont Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. For instance, Chattanooga School for the Arts and Sciences Lower and Normal Park Museum Magnet School, both public magnet schools, significantly outperform Rivermont Elementary across all subject areas and grade levels. Despite increased spending per student and relatively stable student-teacher ratios, Rivermont Elementary has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance over the years, suggesting the need for more targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of its diverse student population.

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.
