River View has a mixed academic profile. English language arts is the school’s strongest area: 40.26% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, which was 7.52 percentage points above the district and an improvement of 12.86 points from the previous year. However, the result was still below Washington’s 52.81%. Math proficiency was much lower at 11.54%, compared with 43.11% statewide, while science proficiency was 14.55%, compared with 50.95% statewide. Science also declined sharply from 32.47% the prior year. These results make math and science the clearest academic priorities, while maintaining the recent ELA gains is also important.

Its dropout rate was 9.0%, slightly better than the state rate of 9.8%. The school’s statewide ranking was at the 6th percentile in 2025–2026, matching the district’s 6th-percentile standing. River View has a 21.1-to-1 student–teacher ratio, and 64.8% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, providing important context when reviewing outcomes. For parents, the main questions are how the school is supporting math and science learning, helping students earn credits and graduate, and sustaining its encouraging ELA improvement.
