Richardson Elementary School faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance on standardized tests compared to state and district averages, particularly for certain student subgroups. The school's performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics is well below the state averages, with only 20% of 3rd graders, 34% of 4th graders, and 37.4% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better in ELA, and even lower scores in Mathematics. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students and Special Education students performing particularly poorly. Additionally, the school has experienced a steady decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from 274 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 583 out of 710 schools in 2023-2024.

When compared to other elementary schools in the same district and nearby Medford School District 549C, Jewett Elementary School and Central Point Elementary School both had higher proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics than Richardson Elementary School. Additionally, Richardson Elementary School's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are less favorable than some nearby schools, which may contribute to its academic challenges.

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.

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.
