Richmond Community Schools

The Richmond Community Schools district in Michigan consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals that the elementary school, Will L Lee School, outperforms the district and state averages in 3rd grade academic proficiency, likely due to its low student-teacher ratio. The middle school, Richmond Middle School, also performs above average in several subject areas, particularly in the lower grades.

However, the high school, Richmond Community High School, lags behind the district and state in several key metrics, including SAT and M-Step scores. This suggests the district may need to focus on improving the academic performance at the high school level. Additionally, all three schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which could be impacting overall student outcomes and is an area for the district to address.

Demographically, the schools in the Richmond Community Schools district have a predominantly white student population, with a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This indicates the district may have a sizable economically disadvantaged student population, which could present unique challenges that the district will need to consider in its efforts to improve student performance across all grade levels.
