Summary:
This analysis covers one school, Richfield Elementary, a K-8 school serving 253 students in Corning, California, which is the sole school in the Richfield Elementary district.
Richfield Elementary demonstrates a significant strength in student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 2.3% that is dramatically lower than the state average. Academically, the school performs close to state averages in English and Math overall, with notable highlights in 3rd grade and middle school English. However, science scores, particularly in 8th grade, are an area for improvement. The school serves a population where over half of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, yet it operates with per-student spending below the typical state level.
While the school's current academic results are near state averages, a concerning trend is its decline in statewide ranking over the past three years. Parents should note the school's exceptional attendance culture and solid core subject performance in many grades, but also be aware of the performance dip in middle school science and the overall downward ranking trajectory that the school is working to address.
