Summary:
The city of Muscoda, Wisconsin is home to 4 schools in the Riverdale School District, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). The data reveals that Riverdale Elementary stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with consistently high proficiency rates on state assessments that exceed the state average in most subjects and grade levels. Meanwhile, Riverdale Junior High also performs well, with proficiency rates above the state average in several areas.
The high schools in the district, Riverdale High and Riverdale Academy, have more mixed performance, with some areas of strength and others where they lag behind the state average. However, both high schools maintain a 91.0% four-year graduation rate and a 1.3% dropout rate. The district as a whole serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 44.62% to 75%.
Despite the high poverty levels, the Riverdale School District appears to be investing resources to support student success, as evidenced by the relatively high spending per student across the schools. However, the district is ranked 274 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting that while there are some strong-performing schools, there may be room for improvement in overall district-level performance, particularly in addressing chronic absenteeism, which is a concern across all schools in the district.
