Summary

Riverview Elementary is a public elementary school located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, serving 296 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Manitowoc School District, which is ranked 373 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverview Elementary consistently outperforms the Manitowoc School District and the state of Wisconsin in terms of the percentage of students proficient or better on the Forward Exam across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 52.17% of 3rd graders at Riverview Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 39.6% for the Manitowoc School District and 52.14% for the state. Similarly, 57.14% of 4th graders at Riverview Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 42.91% for the Manitowoc School District and 53.96% for the state. However, the school struggles with English Language Learner students and Special Education students, ranking in the bottom 25% of Wisconsin elementary schools for these subgroups.

While Riverview Elementary generally outperforms the other elementary schools in the Manitowoc School District, such as Jefferson Elementary and Madison Elementary, it lags behind the Mishicot School District's Schultz Elementary, which consistently ranks higher in the state and has stronger academic performance. Additionally, Riverview Elementary's statewide ranking has declined from 419 out of 1075 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 496 out of 1044 in 2024-2025, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other schools in the state. The school also faces challenges related to high chronic absenteeism rates and a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may be contributing to its academic performance challenges.
