Richmond Hill K-8

Summary:

Richmond Hill K-8 is an elementary school located in Augusta, Georgia, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 1,174 students. The school is part of the Richmond County School District, which is ranked 176 out of 203 districts in Georgia and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Richmond Hill K-8 consistently ranks among the lowest-performing schools in Georgia, ranking 1240 out of 1248 elementary schools in the state for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessment are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with particularly concerning performance in mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, only 11.5% of 4th-grade students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 37% statewide and 16.9% in the district. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.93% to 97.96% over the past three school years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The nearby schools in the Richmond County School District, such as Jamestown Elementary, Jenkins-White Elementary, and Glenn Hills Elementary, also perform poorly on academic measures, with proficiency rates generally below the state averages. However, some of these nearby schools, such as Tobacco Road Elementary and Gracewood Elementary, have slightly higher proficiency rates in certain subject areas and grade levels compared to Richmond Hill K-8, suggesting that while the overall district is struggling, there may be some variation in the quality of education and academic outcomes among the individual schools.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
