It's one of two schools serving this age group in the Riverwest neighborhood; the other is the English-Spanish bilingual Fratney School.
Riverwest Elementary's goal is to offer an education based on core academic standards. While it falls short of the state average on most metrics, it compares favorably to many other schools in the area. There's also more to the story than just the numbers.
