Northrich Elementary is a public elementary school in Richardson, Texas, serving 345 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the Richardson Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 382 out of 961 school districts in the state.

Northrich Elementary's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the district and state averages across most grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 42.65% (5th grade) to 52.94% (4th grade), compared to the district's 54.96% to 56.30% and the state's 52.02% to 57.83%. The school's performance is particularly low in STAAR Science, with only 17.81% of 5th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the district's 33.35% and the state's 29.57%. Northrich Elementary also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 66.67% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
