It is part of the Jordan School District, which is ranked 48 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having higher rates of chronic absenteeism (22.7% to 25.2%) and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (17.21% to 22.78%) compared to nearby schools like Monte Vista (8.43%) and Southland (12.54%), Riverton School spends more per student ($7,771) than these neighboring schools ($6,498 and $6,636, respectively).

Compared to the nearby schools, Riverton School has a higher student-teacher ratio, ranging from 21 to 22.1 students per teacher, which could impact the level of individualized attention and support available to students. The fluctuations in Riverton School's state ranking and star rating over the years suggest that the school's performance may be influenced by factors beyond just test scores, such as changes in student demographics or district-level policies. Overall, Riverton School appears to be a strong-performing elementary school that is effectively serving its student population, despite facing some challenges related to chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage.

My son was in Judy Clarke's 1st grade class. He loved her. I (mother) was able to volunteer some of my time in her classroom. She showed great patience and kind discipline with her students and they all seemed to love her for it. Her classroom is under control and yet she gives the kids opportunity to govern their own work. I would reccommend Mrs. Clarke for any student. She is the kind of teacher that I hope my son gets every year. I have also been very impressed by the secretaries. They are very organized and polite with all visitors to the school. The pricipal, Mr. Giles is very hands on. My son, and many other students, earned the chance to spray Mr. Giles with silly string. I have seen him in my sons classsroom and the kids are very excited to show him what they've been doing. Overall, we have had an amazing experience with Riverton Elementary. Close Quote
