Summary

Riverside Elementary is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school serving about 380 students in Chattaroy, WA, and is part of the highly-regarded Riverside School District.

The school's standout story is one of impressive improvement, rising from historically low rankings to now performing solidly above average statewide. Its most notable strength is its exceptional effectiveness in supporting students from low-income families, ranking in the top 15% of schools in Washington for this group. While nearby schools like Meadow Ridge Elementary and Midway Elementary have higher overall scores, they serve communities with much lower poverty rates; Riverside achieves strong, competitive results in math and reading for its community context, and it does so very efficiently, with a better student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than many neighbors.

Areas for growth include science proficiency, which lags behind the state average, and a significant drop in test scores in 5th grade that the school will need to address. Compared to its sister school, Chattaroy Elementary, Riverside has a more stable performance history and a much lower student-teacher ratio, though Chattaroy currently has higher math proficiency. Overall, Riverside Elementary is a school on a positive trajectory, known for its equitable support for all students and its efficient use of resources.
