The school outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) for both 6th and 7th grades, with 51.69% and 39.22% of students proficient or better, respectively.

Additionally, Richmond Preparatory Charter School has a high percentage of students (66.21%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the nearby schools. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.4 suggests a potentially more personalized learning environment.

When compared to the nearby schools, such as IS 2 George L Egbert, IS 61 William A Morris, and Young Women's Leadership Of Staten Island, Richmond Preparatory Charter School stands out in its racial diversity and performance on ELA assessments. However, the school's lower Math performance compared to the state average is an area for improvement. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds may contribute to its overall performance, and addressing any potential achievement gaps within the school could help the school better serve its diverse student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

2022	109	14.3	7.5	53.2

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
