Summary:
The 04357 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Regional School Unit 02 district. While Richmond High School performs relatively well in English Language Arts, the Marcia Buker School significantly underperforms the district and state averages in core subjects. Attendance is also a concern, with high chronic absenteeism rates across the schools.
Marcia Buker School stands out with a 1-star rating, low proficiency rates, and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.6%. In contrast, Richmond High School has a 2-star rating and higher English Language Arts proficiency, but lags behind in Mathematics and Science. Richmond Middle School is an outlier, with strong Science proficiency but lower performance in other core subjects.
The schools in this area serve a predominantly White student population, with limited racial diversity. Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as the higher free and reduced-price lunch rates at Richmond High School and Richmond Middle School suggest these schools serve a more economically disadvantaged population. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions to address the academic and attendance challenges faced by these schools.
