Richmond Elementary School

Summary:

Richmond Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school in Stillwater, Oklahoma, serving 344 students in grades PK-5. The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforming the Stillwater school district and the state of Oklahoma on standardized tests.

Richmond Elementary's academic excellence is particularly impressive given its diverse student population and higher percentage of students from low-income families compared to nearby schools. Despite these factors, the school maintains exceptional proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with 76% of 3rd-grade students scoring proficient or better in Mathematics, far exceeding the district and state averages. The school's performance is strong across different student subgroups, including its White and low socioeconomic status students, who rank among the top in the state.

While Richmond Elementary spends slightly less per student than some of the other high-performing schools in the Stillwater district, such as Sangre Ridge Elementary and Westwood Elementary, it maintains a lower student-teacher ratio and consistently delivers exceptional academic results. This suggests the school is efficiently utilizing its resources to support student learning and provide a high-quality education to 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.

If you're new to the district I highly recommend enrolling your little one in a different elementary school. The principal is a horrid bully, office staff is beyond rude, and the majority of the teachers are rude and hateful. If you have a special needs child be prepared to deal with bullies on a daily basis. The persons in charge do absolutely nothing to combat this problem, this I can assure you! Good luck in deciding where to send your little one. Close Quote

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.
