Summary

Riverside School is a public elementary school serving 591 students in kindergarten through sixth grade in West Jordan, Utah, as part of Jordan District. The school ranks 338th out of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it in the 40th percentile and earning two stars for 2025–2026. That is a meaningful improvement from the 18th percentile in 2015–2016, although Riverside remains a middle-to-lower-ranked school statewide. Its enrollment is relatively large compared with many nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio has improved modestly, from 18.9 to 17.9.

Academic results are mixed but generally stronger than those of most nearby schools. Riverside’s average proficiency is approximately 44.3% in English language arts, 40.4% in mathematics, and 51.0% in science. Third grade and sixth grade are relative strengths, while fourth grade is the clearest concern: proficiency is 33.8% in both ELA and math and 40.5% in science, below district and state averages in each subject. Fifth-grade math is another weak area at 36.4%. Sixth grade stands out positively, with results at or above district and state averages in all three tested subjects. Nearby Jordan Ridge School is substantially stronger and ranks in the 74th percentile, but Riverside generally outperforms Heartland School, Westvale School, and most other nearby schools.

Attendance is improving but remains an important concern. Riverside’s chronic absenteeism fell from 32.2% in 2021–2022 to 28.5% in 2024–2025, yet it remains above both district and Utah rates and is notably higher than Jordan Ridge School’s 20.6%. About 43.15% of Riverside students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, indicating a moderately high level of economic need—higher than Jordan Ridge but lower than Heartland and several other nearby schools. Overall, Riverside appears to be an improving but uneven school, with the most promising priorities being attendance, fourth-grade support, fifth-grade math intervention, and sharing effective practices from sixth grade.
