Best Public Schools in Richfield, PA

Summary:

The city of Richfield, Pennsylvania has only one public elementary school, East Juniata Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 390 students. Despite being the sole school in the city, East Juniata stands out as a relatively high-performing institution, outperforming the Juniata County School District average in both math and English language arts proficiency across multiple grade levels.

Academically, East Juniata Elementary excels, with 100% of its 4th-grade students achieving proficiency in science, significantly higher than both the district and state averages. However, the school's racial makeup is predominantly white, with very low representation of other racial and ethnic groups, which could indicate a lack of diversity in the school and the broader Richfield community. Additionally, over 50% of East Juniata's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic need among the student population.

While East Juniata's overall performance is commendable, its statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, dropping from 3 out of 5 stars in 2022-2023 to 2 out of 5 stars in 2020-2021. This inconsistency in ranking suggests the school may be facing some challenges that impact its overall standing, and further analysis could help identify areas for improvement to better support all students in the Richfield community.
