Summary

Riverside Middle School is a public 3-star middle school serving 325 students in grades 6-8 in Chattaroy, WA, operating within the well-regarded Riverside School District.

Academically, the school shows notable strengths and areas for growth: its math proficiency (46.2%) is above the state average and significantly higher than many nearby schools in the Spokane School District, such as Shaw Middle School and Glover Middle School. However, science scores are a clear concern, lagging well behind the state average. A key strength is the school's effectiveness with students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, outperforming other local schools with similar student populations.

Compared to schools just 11-15 miles away in higher-performing districts like Mead School District (e.g., Highland Middle School) and Nine Mile Falls School District (e.g., Lakeside Middle School), Riverside operates with a smaller enrollment and lower per-student spending, yet has shown a consistent history of improvement over the past decade.
