Original Research by School Decision on Riverside Elementary School
Riverside Elementary School serves prekindergarten through sixth grade in De Graff, a small residential village in Logan County where most families own their homes and commute to jobs in surrounding communities. The school is part of Riverside Local, a district formed by consolidation that now operates a K-12 campus built on former farmland with new athletic facilities.
The school's enrollment is small, with roughly equal numbers across most grade levels and a student body that is predominantly white. Free-or-reduced-price lunch data and special education or English learner counts were not available in the records, so a reader interested in the school's economic profile or population-support needs would benefit from asking the school directly. The school participated fully in Ohio's State Tests, with proficiency rates that cluster in the middle range. In language arts, reading performance is stronger than in mathematics. Science testing showed higher proficiency than either of those subjects. Older social studies results from several years back showed wider variation by grade. Trend data over a single year is not available; proficiency rates rest on the most recent school year alone, so patterns over time cannot yet be assessed.
Academically, Riverside Elementary's overall proficiency index places it above the midpoint among the six districts in Logan County, meaning it outperforms half and falls short of the strongest performers in its peer group. The school's testing profile is complete and representative of its grade band; no gaps indicate missing populations or excluded students.
De Graff itself is a compact village centered on a historic Main Street with brick storefronts, local ice cream and restaurant shops, and a working civic core that includes a branch library and the village offices. The community has a walking-scale downtown but no major employers; most working residents commute out. Population has been essentially flat for decades, and new housing development has occurred mostly on rural acreage at the village edges rather than as new in-village subdivisions. Housing values are slightly below the state benchmark and well below national averages, making the area relatively affordable. The school campus sits outside the downtown on district property, a choice made during the consolidation and building project that closed the separate DeGraff and Quincy school buildings.
Parent-relevant district information such as recent levies, curriculum changes, or strategic initiatives was not publicly available in the search results, so anyone considering the school may want to reach out directly to the district office to learn about current priorities and any upcoming changes. The data provided here reflects the school's most recent academic year and enrollment composition, offering a grounded snapshot of the peer environment and academic pathway a student would enter.
