2024-25': Celebrating a Year of Achievements

July 25, 2025

RSD School Board: Celebrating a Year of Achievements

From the Riverdale School Board

Dear Riverdale Community,

As we reflect on the 2024-25 academic year, the Riverdale School District Board of Directors extends heartfelt gratitude to every member of our community. This year has been marked by remarkable achievements, collaborative efforts, and the unwavering dedication of our students, teachers, staff, families, volunteers and partners.

Celebrating Academic Excellence

Riverdale High School is now officially an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, a significant milestone that affirms our commitment to providing a globally recognized, rigorous education. This designation sets the stage for expanded opportunities, academic depth, and international perspective for our students.

District-wide, our students are thriving. From our most recent state report card, the 4-year cohort graduation rate reached an impressive 96%, with the 5-year cohort at 93%. “On Track to Graduate” metrics improved by 12% from 2023, surpassing 95%, and regular attendance increased by 9% to 83%. Third-grade English Language Arts proficiency climbed by 12% to 79%, reflecting our strong early literacy efforts. Building on the strong foundation of the previous year, 2024–25 has been a year of continued momentum, growth, and progress. The 2024–25 Report Card is scheduled for release in September, consistent with prior years, and will be featured in Riverdale’s Annual Report published in October.

While the 2024-25 state math scores will be finalized this summer, preliminary results indicate promising gains, particularly aligned with our recent investment in an updated math curriculum. We are incredibly grateful to our teachers for their dedication during this adoption process. Their overall commitment to supporting students through engaging, standards-aligned instruction and hard work is already making a measurable difference.

Empowering Our Students

Our students have continued to lead with integrity, creativity, and engagement. This year, fifth graders explored environmental stewardship at Tryon Creek State Natural Area during Earth Day with our Oregon Kid Governor Rosie L., deepening their understanding of our natural environment and their role in protecting it.

Middle school students demonstrated civic leadership and academic excellence by advancing in the National Civics Bee. Congratulations to Emeryn T. who secured 2nd place at the Oregon Civics Bee!

We also want to celebrate Alex B., whose essay and illustration were selected for publication in the 2025–26 Oregon Blue Book—a distinguished recognition of his creativity and civic awareness.

We are especially proud of the leadership our students demonstrate across the district. Our recently formed Educational Equity Advisory Committee includes two student representatives, Abagail H. and Callie H., whose thoughtful participation will help shape a continued inclusive and equitable learning environment. We have also been honored to partner with our Student Board Director, Sy J., whose insights and thoughtful contributions have meaningfully enriched board discussions and brought an invaluable student perspective to the table. This year, Sy was recognized with the 2025 Dartmouth Book Award, presented by community member Dr. Seth Crockett, a well-deserved honor that reflects her exceptional leadership and academic excellence

We would also like to recognize the outstanding work of seven Global City students who are also part of the Class of 2025: Isabel M., Caitlin M., Leo N., Dylan P., Madison R., Enzo S., and Brendan V., who were selected to present their historical research papers at the Young Historians Conference on April 28, 2025.

Organized by Portland State University’s Challenge Program, the conference features top student papers from participating high schools, reviewed and selected by a jury of PSU history faculty and graduate students. Students present their work, with select papers invited for publication in PDXScholar, PSU’s online scholarly archive. We’re proud to share that the following Riverdale students’ papers were chosen for submission to PDXScholar, qualifying as published research:

Caitlin M. – The Role of Feline Goddesses in Advancing Women’s Rights in Ancient Egypt
Leo N. – Exposing the Truth Behind the Stanford Prison Experiment
Madison R. – Riding Through the Great Depression: The Impact of Pack Horse Librarians
Enzo S. – Cuju: The Ancient Chinese Game That Held an Empire Together

We also congratulate our two National Merit Scholar Semifinalists: Brendan V. and Joshua N. and three Commended Scholars: Caitlin M., Kiran S., and Connor M.

This is a small snapshot of how our students have led in diverse and meaningful ways this year. Their actions inspire us, and we are proud of their growth as scholars, citizens, and future leaders.

Acknowledging Our Partners

This extraordinary year would not have been possible without the steadfast support of our partners:

Teachers, Staff, and Administration: Your dedication and care empower our students daily. Thank you especially for your partnership as we continue to build momentum, deepen our identity through empowering and transforming pedagogy and systems, and remain focused on what matters most— our amazing students.

Riverdale Foundation: Your generosity and efforts sustain essential programs and opportunities that elevate the Riverdale experience for all learners.

Riverdale Parent Teacher Club (PTC): Your consistent and devoted efforts to enrich the student experience and strengthen our school community have been truly invaluable. Thank you for the creative energy, meaningful connections, and countless volunteer hours you contribute!

Riverdale Boosters: Your support uplifts our athletic programs, promotes school spirit, and celebrates student achievement. Cheers to you!

With Gratitude for Leadership

We are deeply appreciative of Superintendent Chris Russo, whose leadership this year brought strong, student-centered momentum across the district. Amidst transitions, he stepped in to elevate excellence at Riverdale Grade School, ensuring continuity, growth, and a continued focus on student success. His vision and dedication have helped us achieve transformative milestones, and we are thrilled to continue this partnership with the renewal of his contract for another three years.

As one Board Director concludes their service and another joins us, we are continually grateful for the community members who step forward to serve. Their commitment, perspective, and leadership are essential to the strength and direction of our district.

Honoring the Class of 2025

To the Class of 2025— your journey through Riverdale has been one of growth, leadership, and perseverance. Your Senior Exhibitions showcased the richness of your experiences and depth of your learning. We were honored to celebrate your accomplishments at this year’s Senior Awards and Commencement ceremonies.

Your college acceptances are truly remarkable, and 96% of you were accepted to a 4-year university. As a class, 100% of you will either head to university, community college, or trade school, a testament to your hard work and dedication. As we reflect on the list of colleges and universities you’ll be attending, we know your futures are full of promise, and we can’t wait to see all that you will accomplish.

As we reflect on this year’s many achievements, we are reminded that it is our collective commitment that shapes Riverdale into the extraordinary district it is. Thank you for your continued partnership and belief in our mission as we look ahead together and engage in shaping the district’s strategic plan for the next three years.

With deep appreciation,

Riverdale School District Board of Directors

Letter on Special Education Funding

May 3, 2025

Riverdale School Board: A Letter on Special Education Funding

From the Riverdale School Board

Dear State Legislators,

The Riverdale School Board is writing to express our support for increased SPED funding so districts across the state can best serve its growing number of students on IEPs. We agree that resources are finite; however, it is important to support all students with the services most needed.

The Riverdale School Board believes:

Our Students with Disabilities Deserve Every Opportunity to Succeed in School.

But Our Current Funding Model for Special Education is Inequitable and Needs Updating. The 11% SPED cap was put in place after Measure 5 was passed in 1991.

Funding Has Not Kept Up With Caseload Growths. We have more students with disabilities who need highly specialized services and well-trained staff. We must have the funding to meet these growing needs.

Current Special Education Funding Is Inadequate. Funding for the staff, services, and programs that serve our students with disabilities does not account for the real costs our school districts incur. Districts must cover these costs by redirecting general fund dollars to cover inadequate state funding.

The Riverdale School Board understands that we need to make additional investments to meet the growing needs of our students with disabilities in the State School Fund, and requests that state legislators:

Raise the Special Education Cap: In Riverdale School District, 15% of our students have been identified with special education needs, but the state only provides double weighting for 11% of our students. This means we have to innovate and subsidize with thousands of dollars from our general fund to cover these shortfalls, which impacts our ability to provide services to all of our students.

Increase Funding for High-Cost Disability Account: As school board members, we have a moral and legal obligation to serve all students with disabilities. In our district, many students qualify for the High-Cost Disability Account funding. However, that Account only covers about 40% of our eligible costs, forcing us to move dollars from other programs to make up the funding gap. The state must fund 100% of the costs of meeting the needs of our most severely impacted students.

The Riverdale School Board firmly asserts that improving the formula is insufficient. Additive funding is needed to account for true costs. According to ODE data, school districts report spending more than $700 million per biennium on special education services not funded or reimbursed by the State School Fund.

We must make two critical changes, and we ask again that State legislators:

Raise the SPED cap and include the additive dollars to pay for these new weights in the State School Fund Appropriation (HB 2953); and

Ensure that school districts receive reimbursement for 100% of the eligible expenditures they make to ensure our most impacted students with disabilities receive the support and services they deserve from the High-Cost Disability Account (HB 2448).

We thank you for your consideration of this critical component of our students’ education.

Sincerely,

Riverdale School Board

Superintendent Chris Russo

2024 Back to School Letter

October 25, 2024

Back to School Letter from the Riverdale School Board

From the Riverdale School Board

Dear Riverdale Community,

Welcome back to school! We’re excited to share that Riverdale High School is ranked #1 Best Public High School in Oregon for 2025 according to Niche.com (an increase from the #3 ranking last year). Additionally, according to Niche, our district held steady ranked #2 in Best School Districts in Oregon. We know the education our district offers is more than rankings or test scores, and we affirm our mission and vision statements.

Our Mission

Riverdale develops inquisitive, imaginative and eager learners. Our students demonstrate academic mastery through exhibition to become effective communicators and responsible leaders.

Our Vision

Students learn to use their minds well, engage creatively and act compassionately.

Student Focused Decision Making

We enthusiastically received an update on the mathematics curriculum adoption currently being implemented throughout our district. This adoption focuses on updated materials and professional development for our staff. We know this will positively impact student learning. Recently, we unanimously approved a thoughtful budget which continues to prioritize student needs and community values and updated goals with our superintendent.

Heeding the call from the budget subcommittee, our Superintendent Chris Russo and business manager Nicole Bassen have greatly improved our financial health. Income from investments is up from $19,000 in 2021-22, to $91,000 in 2022-23, and $138,000 in 2023-24. Additionally, income from facility rentals has grown from only $120 in 2021-22, to $26,000 in 2022-23, and $70,000 in 2023-24. The district is operating a conservative budget and these among other leveraged revenue streams and cost savings measures, have made it possible to maintain robust service and staffing levels. Reference the October 14, 2024 and March 11, 2024 financial updates for additional details.

Enrollment matriculation from Grade School to High School is gaining significant ground. We exceeded our historical 10 year target on 9th grade applicants. Targeted marketing practices have yielded the largest capture rate of freshman applicants in the past 8 years. With our High School’s candidacy to become an International Baccalaureate® (Diploma Programme)* school for the 2025-26 school year, and the Grade School exploring an adoption of the Middle Years Programme through International Baccalaureate, we’re optimistic that student outcomes will continue to flourish.

State Data

In partnership with our Superintendent, we made data driven shifts resulting in many improvements on our Oregon State District Profile. We had a 12% increase in both our graduation rate and our 3rd Grade English Language Arts scores! Thank you to our educators for supporting our students in these gains, and thank you to our students for their diligent effort.

Riverdale students had the highest and/or second highest proficiency rate of all grades tested in both English Language Arts and Science statewide. Notably, last year's 7th and 5th graders scored 94% and 93% proficient on their English Language Arts exam, the highest two proficiency rates in the entire state.

The data shows opportunities for growth, particularly in mathematics. We’re using state data, among other qualitative and quantitative metrics, to continuously improve and make strategic investments to impact student achievement.

Attendance

Regular attenders increased 9% last year! This positively impacts our state funding allocation and we appreciate your partnership to further improve attendance.

We’re all in for students.

Here’s to a great year!

Celebrating RHS and Class of 2024

May 24, 2024

Read in Full Screen

From the Riverdale School Board

Dear Riverdale Community,

As this academic year comes to a close, we want to celebrate the exceptional outcomes Riverdale High School students have achieved.

Riverdale High School and its students are extraordinary! The small class sizes, experienced educators, and tailored academic offerings have yielded results exceeding or competitive with any private or public high schools in the state of Oregon.

Riverdale High School's academic excellence is exemplified by its average SAT scores of 1310 (89^thpercentile nationally) and ACT scores of 28 (88^th percentile nationally). With robust honor and college credit course enrollment, our graduates are accepted to some of the best universities in the nation; the list below is evidence to this end.

The competitiveness of our programming is illustrated by the many scholarship recipients, including full rides and National Merit awards. These outcomes draw interest from the greater Portland metro, resulting in a diverse community of high-achieving, creative, and compassionate students.

With a student-teacher ratio of 10:1 and an average class size of 20 students, it’s no wonder that our typical college attendance rate is above 90%. Riverdale High School offers a well-rounded education with 31 clubs, including the National Honor Society, No Place for Hate, and Model UN.

Through our field studies program, seniors have had the opportunity the last two years to spend a week at Summer Lake for service and learning, sailing in Puget Sound, flying at iFly, and/or learning on the coast or in a professional art studio (among other programs).

Riverdale High School’s personalized approach to the high school experience prepares our students to become engaged community members and for a broad choice of college/career pursuits. Examples include our 80 service hours graduation requirement for a Riverdale diploma and Senior Exhibition.

For Senior Exhibition, graduates presented a 15-30 page paper in which they developed a position on a controversial, interdisciplinary topic of their choosing. Seniors then delivered a 50 minute public presentation to their peers, faculty, and community members. Some senior exhibitions topics included: Right to Repair Laws; Transracial Adoption; Bias in US Immigration Policy; and Use of Lethal Autonomous Weapons in the US Military.

Riverdale’s senior class has played on sports teams that participated in the state playoffs in soccer and basketball, and has had success in track, cross-country, volleyball, swimming, tennis, and golf. Their hard work and determination extended into the classroom, repeatedly placing them at or near the top in team GPA across the state.

At Riverdale we develop inquisitive, imaginative, and eager learners. The 2024 graduating class is a testament to this mission. Riverdale High School and its students are incredible. Moving forward as Riverdale High School transitions to an International Baccalaureate® (IB) school, we expect these results to become even more exceptional.

Class of 2024, we are proud of you!
