Summary:
Richmond College Preparatory is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in the Richmond College Preparatory District. This diverse school has a majority Hispanic student population, with a significant African American enrollment, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged community.
Richmond College Preparatory has stronger proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) compared to statewide averages, but its Mathematics and Science scores often fall below the state's performance. The school's ELA proficiency exceeds the California average in grades 3-7, while its Mathematics proficiency is higher in grades 3-4 but lower in grades 5-8. However, the school's Science proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state's in both grade 5 and grade 8, suggesting a need for targeted interventions in this subject area.
One area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.0%, which may be impacting student learning and achievement, particularly in the lower-performing subject areas of Mathematics and Science. Addressing attendance issues could be a key focus for the school as it works to improve overall academic performance and close the gaps between its strengths in ELA and its weaknesses in Mathematics and Science.
