The student population consists of 97% Hispanic; 0.5% African American; 2% Anglo; and the remaining 0.5% is made up of Asian, Filipino, Pacific Islander, and Native American students. The transiency rate is currently 13%. Ninety four percent of our students qualified for free or reduced lunch as of 4/26/12. Sixty percent of our students are English language learners.

Two Preschool and two Headstart classes are located on our campus. Up to twenty-four students attend each session. Each class is staffed with a teacher and an aide. Numerous volunteers assist in these classrooms. Preschool and Headstart emphasize both developmental skills and pre-kindergarten academic readiness skills as part of their curriculum.

West Riverside continues to experience an increasing population of English language learners. To address this issue, the District has placed an emphasis on having teachers fully qualified to teach ELD and SDAIE at West Riverside. Every teacher at West Riverside possesses CLAD, BCLAD or comparable authorization.
