Both schools serve predominantly African American and Hispanic student populations, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges in the district.

Academically, the schools in the Richfield Public School Academy district are performing well below state averages. The middle school is ranked 785 out of 897 Michigan middle schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, with proficiency rates on state assessments ranging from just 4.23% to 24% across different grade levels and subjects. The elementary school does not have a statewide ranking or rating, but it is likely facing similar academic struggles based on the district-wide trends.

The data suggests that the Richfield Public School Academy district faces significant challenges in providing high-quality education to its students. Addressing the low academic performance, socioeconomic disparities, and racial inequities should be the primary focus for the district's leadership and stakeholders. Improving educational outcomes for the predominantly low-income, African American, and Hispanic student population will be crucial for the long-term success of the community.
