Summary

Riverside Elementary is a K–5 school in Ringle, WI, serving 487 students as part of the D C Everest Area School District. It is a genuine standout: in 2025–2026 it ranked 53rd of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 95th percentile, with 5 stars — while its district sits mid-pack statewide at the 51st percentile with 3 stars. Riverside has been in or near the top 10% for most of the past decade, peaking at 37th statewide in 2021–2022 and rebounding to 53rd after a relative dip in 2023–2024.

Test proficiency is above district and state averages in every subject and grade reported, with especially wide margins in Grade 3 Math (91.57%) and Grade 4 Social Studies (88.64%). Same-district neighbors rank far lower — Mountain Bay Elementary at 295 (72nd percentile), Evergreen Elementary at 388, Odyssey Elementary at 399, Rothschild Elementary at 475, Weston Elementary at 595, and Hatley Elementary at 630. Only one nearby school beat Riverside in any tested area: Mountain Bay scored 84.00% in Grade 4 Math versus Riverside's 78.41%. Grade 4 ELA was a tie with Odyssey and Wausau Montessori at 72.73%.

Subgroup results are a major strength. Riverside ranked in the 97th percentile for special education students (up from the 56th percentile in 2023–2024), the 96th percentile for low-income students, and the 94th percentile for English language learners. Chronic absenteeism was just 5.5% in 2024–2025, about half the district's 10.9% and well under the state's 17.3%. Riverside also posts these results with modest resources — per-student spending of $13,206 is lower than most same-district peers, and its student–teacher ratio of 15.5 is higher than several. Two minor watch items: Grade 4 Math, and the Asian student subgroup at the 65th percentile with 3 stars, though that group is small.
