Middle Schools in Richmond Community Schools

Richmond Community Schools has one middle school, Richmond Middle School, which serves students in grades 4-8. The school is located in Richmond, Michigan and has a predominantly white student population. Overall, Richmond Middle School appears to be a relatively strong-performing school, with some areas of academic excellence, particularly in the lower grades and in science.

Richmond Middle School's academic performance is generally above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency, especially in grades 4 and 5. However, the school's performance declines in the upper grades, with proficiency rates falling below the state average in several subjects. The school's science proficiency rates are significantly higher than the state average, while its social studies proficiency rates are closer to the state average. Additionally, the school's 8th-grade students perform well on the PSAT, with ELA proficiency rates significantly higher than the state average, though math proficiency is closer to the state average.

Despite the school's overall strong performance, there are a few areas of concern. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 24.9% is relatively high, which may impact academic performance. Additionally, the school has a predominantly white student population, with relatively low percentages of minority students. The school spends $11,804 per student, which is a relatively high amount compared to the state average, and the student-teacher ratio of 19:1 suggests the school has adequate resources.
