Summary:
The Richmond Charter Academy District list contains one middle school, Richmond Charter Academy, serving grades 6–8 with 296 students. In 2025–2026, its English language arts (ELA) proficiency was closest to California’s, while mathematics was the clearest concern: 17% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide, a 21-point gap.
Richmond Charter Academy is the only school listed, so there are no local peers to rank at the top or bottom. Among its subjects, ELA was strongest relative to the state: 43% proficient versus 49%, a 7-point gap. Science followed at 23% versus 36%, 13 points behind; mathematics had the largest gap. The grade-level results show the math challenge across all grades: the school was 13% proficient in grade 6, 20% in grade 7, and 19% in grade 8, while state results ranged from 36% to 38%. ELA’s gap was smaller in grade 8 than grade 6: 5 points versus 9.
Results moved in different directions over the two years reported: science proficiency rose 9 points, from 14% to 23%, narrowing its gap with the state by 5 points, while ELA fell 4 points and mathematics fell 1 point; their gaps widened by 4 and 2 points, respectively. SchoolDigger’s school ranking also declined, from the 51st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 34th in 2025–2026; it gives the district a 1-star rating and ranks it 690 of 968. Other context for 2024–2025 includes a 36.7 student-teacher ratio and 82% free/reduced lunch eligible. In 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was 15%, below California’s 18%. These figures describe the school but do not explain its results.
