Summary

Richmond Elementary School is a public elementary school in Salem, Oregon, serving 266 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Salem-Keizer School District 24J, which is ranked 110 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Richmond Elementary School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Oregon, with its statewide ranking ranging from 636 out of 695 schools in 2013-2014 to 699 out of 710 schools in 2023-2024. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science, is significantly below the state and district averages. Additionally, Richmond Elementary School has extremely high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 34.3% in 2023-2024 to 51.4% in 2023-2024, which is strongly correlated with lower academic achievement. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 68.42% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.

When comparing Richmond Elementary School to other nearby schools within the same district, such as Grant Community School, McKinley Elementary School, and Morningside Elementary School, it becomes evident that Richmond Elementary School is underperforming compared to its peers. Despite the school's low academic performance, Richmond Elementary School has a relatively high per-student spending of $22,685 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average, suggesting that the issue may not be solely related to funding, but rather to other factors, such as instructional practices, school leadership, and student and family engagement.
