Summary:
This analysis covers the single elementary school, Richmond Elementary, serving grades K-8 in the Richmond Elementary district of Susanville, California, with an enrollment of 192 students.
Richmond Elementary stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 5.6%, which is far better than the state average, indicating a strong, supportive school environment. Academically, the school performs above state averages in English, math, and science overall, with particular strengths in 3rd grade, where English proficiency is more than double the state average, and in 8th grade, which shows strong results in both English and math.
The most notable finding is the significant variation in performance between grade levels, with 4th and 5th grades showing relative weaknesses compared to the standout 3rd and 8th grades. Despite this variation, the school's state ranking has improved recently, and it achieves these above-average results with a moderate student-teacher ratio and per-student spending, suggesting effective use of resources.
