Richmond Elementary School

Summary:

Richmond Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Salem, Oregon, serving 310 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Salem-Keizer School District 24J, which is ranked 106 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite relatively high per-student spending and a decreasing student-teacher ratio, Richmond Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Oregon elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. Its performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as White students and English Language Learners, who rank in the bottom 50% of Oregon elementary schools.

In comparison, nearby schools in the Salem-Keizer School District, such as Grant Community School, McKinley Elementary School, and Morningside Elementary School, generally perform much better than Richmond Elementary School, with higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings. The persistent low performance of Richmond Elementary School suggests deep-rooted challenges that have not been effectively addressed, despite the school's high percentage of students from low-income families.

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.
