Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
One school defines the top: Riverview Elementary sits 21 points clear of the field — the other 6 elementary schools are a different conversation.
38 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 7 elementary schools — the average hides more than it tells.
Riverview Elementary (58/100) holds the Strong band — 35.6% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 15.0%.
2 of 7 elementary schools sit in the Needs Support band — which campus you're zoned for carries real weight here.
The middle years
The middle schools sit at the state line (33.6 vs 38.6) — the 7-point school-to-school spread is where the choice lives.
All 2 middle schools land within 7 points — the average is a fair summary here.
Lakeside Middle is the strongest option at 37/100 — 12.6% of its students exceed the state standard.
The suspension rate averages 5.4% against 3.6% statewide — worth a direct question on a visit.
The high school years
One high school: River Valley Charter at 71/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
River Valley Charter (71/100) holds the Strong band — 48.6% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 48.6%. 1 school classifies as Strong All-Around — no weak dimension we measure.
One campus is the whole sample — a single year's cohort moves every number in this chapter.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Riverview Elementary at 58/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
2 of the 10 ranked schools are charters — enrollment paths that don't depend on your address. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, those lotteries and applications are the levers worth the paperwork.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — 2 campuses here rank as On the Rise, their returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.
