The school is part of the Marion County Schools district, which is ranked 9th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Rivesville Elementary/Middle School's performance on state assessments has been mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas exceeding the district and state averages, while others fall below. The school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate of 58.1% in 2024-2025 is higher than the district (53.8%) and state (53%) averages, but its proficiency rates decline in the higher grade levels. In English Language Arts, the school's scores are more consistent, with 3rd-7th grade scores at or above the district and state averages, but the 8th grade ELA proficiency rate of 44.4% is lower than the district (47%) and state (43.4%). The school's science proficiency rates for 5th and 8th grade are also below the district and state averages.
Despite these mixed results, Rivesville Elementary/Middle School has some positive factors, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1 in 2023-2024 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $13,392 in 2018-2019. However, the school's declining statewide ranking over the past few years, from 127th out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 213th out of 355 in 2024-2025, is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.
