Summary

Riverview Junior High is a public school in Murray, Utah, serving 614 students in grades 7–9. It is part of Murray District, which ranks 54th out of 92 Utah districts, or approximately the 41st statewide percentile. Riverview’s 2025–2026 ranking is 106th of 217 Utah schools, placing it at the 51st percentile with a three-star rating. That is a middle-of-the-pack statewide result, but it is the strongest ranking among the nearby schools listed, including Hillcrest Junior High, which ranks at the 41st percentile.

Academically, Riverview’s strongest areas are eighth-grade mathematics and ninth-grade English language arts. Eighth-grade math proficiency was 51.7%, compared with 39.3% statewide, while ninth-grade ELA was 54.5%, or 9.1 percentage points above the state rate. Riverview also outperformed Hillcrest in eighth-grade math by 17 percentage points and in ninth-grade ELA by 9.1 points. The clearest areas for improvement are seventh-grade math, at 38.1% versus 46.2% statewide, and seventh-grade science, at 38.5% versus 47.7%. Riverview’s results are also generally higher than those at nearby West Jordan Middle and Joel P. Jensen Middle, although differences in student needs and community context should be considered.

Attendance is a notable strength: chronic absenteeism was 13.1% in 2024–2025, well below the Murray District rate of 23.5%, the Utah rate of 23.8%, and Hillcrest’s 35.0%. Riverview’s student-teacher ratio was 21.8:1, similar to Hillcrest but higher than some nearby schools. About 25.41% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, a lower share than at most comparison schools, so test-score comparisons should be viewed in context. Overall, Riverview appears to be a solid local option, with especially promising eighth-grade and ninth-grade results and a need to strengthen seventh-grade math and science.
