Summary

Riverside School is a public elementary school in West Jordan, Utah, serving 651 students in grades K-6. 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. However, Riverside School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverside School's performance is significantly lower than nearby high-performing schools, such as Jordan Ridge School, which consistently ranks in the top 25% of Utah elementary schools. Riverside School has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.7% to 29.8% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's test scores in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are consistently lower than the Jordan District and Utah state averages across all grade levels.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Riverside School, ranging from 30.21% to 40.09% over the past few years, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance. This is further supported by the school's lower rankings for the "Low Socio Economic Status Students" subgroup. Riverside School's consistently low performance and high chronic absenteeism rates indicate that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address these issues and improve its overall performance.
