Riverview draws students from Carnation, Duvall and the surrounding areas, communities that have demonstrated support in their schools and at the polls. The district ranks high in graduation rates while low in dropout rates.

The district's Strategic Plan, which focuses on continuous student academic improvement, has resulted in the highest three-year increase in 4th, 7th and 10th graders passing all three sections of the WASL in King County.

The growing district is small enough to meet the needs of individual students yet also offers a wide range of academic programs and activities. It has posted some of the highest AP scores in the state.
