Summary:
The Riverdale School District in Wisconsin consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (one regular and one alternative), serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district has a mixed academic performance, with Riverdale Elementary School standing out as the highest-performing school in the district, while the other schools have more varied results.
Riverdale Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 50-71% in 3rd-6th grades. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% and serves a significant population of low-income students, with 63.31% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Riverdale Junior High School has more mixed academic results, but maintains solid performance in 8th-grade Social Studies and Science, outperforming the state average.
The Riverdale Academy, an alternative high school, stands out for its high four-year graduation rate of 91% and low dropout rate of 1.3%, despite serving a predominantly low-income student population with 75% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Overall, the Riverdale School District has room for improvement, as indicated by its low overall ranking of 274 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, but the district's small class sizes and targeted support for low-income students could be leveraged to drive better outcomes.
