Summary:
Richmond Preparatory Charter School is the sole middle school serving grades 6-8 in Staten Island, New York, with a total enrollment of 219 students. While the school's per-student spending is relatively high and its student-teacher ratio is low, its overall academic performance has been mixed, with strengths in certain grade levels and subject areas but below-average outcomes compared to the state average.
The school's statewide ranking for middle schools in New York has been in the bottom half, with its 6th and 8th grade English Language Arts (ELA) and Math scores below the state average. However, 7th grade students at Richmond Preparatory Charter School have outperformed the state average in both ELA and Math. The school's Regents exam performance is also mixed, with a lower proficiency rate in Living Environment but a higher rate in Algebra I compared to the state average.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 66.21%, suggests that Richmond Preparatory Charter School serves a predominantly low-income population, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance. The school's leadership and the Richmond Preparatory Charter School district may need to examine their resource allocation and instructional practices to address the unique needs and challenges faced by their student population and improve overall academic outcomes.
