Summary:
The 54982 zip code area has only one elementary school, Riverview Elementary, which serves students in the Wautoma Area School District. While the school's performance is generally on par with or slightly above the district average, it has room for improvement to reach state-level proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Riverview Elementary's 3rd grade proficiency rates in 2024-2025 were 55.56% in English Language Arts and 51.56% in Mathematics, compared to the district averages of 56.63% and 50%, respectively. However, these scores still fall below the state averages of 52.14% in English Language Arts and 55% in Mathematics. The school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 64.65% suggests a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may be a factor contributing to the school's performance.
On a positive note, Riverview Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7, indicating students may have access to more individualized attention and support. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is higher than the state average, which is an area of concern that the school and district may need to address to improve student engagement and learning.
