River View Community School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the RSU 11/MSAD 11 school district, located in South Gardiner, ME with about 163 students offering grade levels from 3rd Grade to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.
