Summary

Riverview Elementary is a K–5 school of 257 students on Michigan Avenue in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, part of the Manitowoc School District, which ranks 385th of 432 districts statewide. Riverview is the clear bright spot within it: its own state rank puts it at the 56th percentile (462nd of 1,039) in 2025–26, roughly five times the district's standing. The school slid to the 35th percentile in 2020–21 and has climbed back steadily since, earning 3 stars in each of the last two years.

Academically, Riverview is at or above the state average in 7 of 8 subject-and-grade measures and beats its district by 12 to 27 points in those same measures; 3rd grade math (70.27%) runs 26 points above the district average. The exception is 5th grade ELA at 34.62%, 19 points below the state and the only measure where the school trails the district — and it looks like one cohort's issue rather than a grade-level weakness, since that same group scored low in 4th grade. Among same-district peers — Jefferson Elementary (12th percentile), Monroe Elementary (12), Franklin Elementary (27), Madison Elementary (29) and Jackson Elementary (31) — Riverview's 56 is far ahead, and it leads in 7 of 8 comparisons. Chronic absenteeism has fallen four years running to 15.4%, better than the district (20.8%) and state (17.3%).

Riverview has the smallest classes (8.8:1) and the highest per-pupil spending ($24,469) in the comparison set — about $6,300 more than its district peers and $9,000–$12,000 more than out-of-district neighbors such as Reedsville Elementary, Schultz Elementary, Koenig Elementary, Magee Elementary and Valders Elementary. That contrast stands out because Reedsville Elementary reaches the 67th percentile on $14,486 per student. One caution for families: while the school overall ranks at the 56th percentile, its low-income subgroup sits at the 26th — a 30-point gap and the school's most stubborn challenge.
