Summary

Richfield Elementary is a K–8 school in Corning, California, with 253 students. Its 2025–2026 results show a mixed academic picture: science was a standout, ELA was close to the state, and math was weaker. Math is the clearest concern: 29% of students were proficient, 10 percentage points below California and about level with nearby schools.

Science is the school’s strongest subject compared with both the state and nearby schools: 39% were proficient, versus 36% statewide and an average of 23% at nearby schools. Only Lassen View Elementary scored higher nearby. ELA was also above the nearby-school average, at 48% versus 36%, though it was 2 points below the state. Grade-level results vary: eighth-grade ELA reached 67%, and fifth-grade science was 43%, while third-grade math was 26% compared with 47% statewide. Richfield’s all-grades results match those of the Richfield Elementary district, so these data do not show a school-versus-district difference.

Recent trends are mixed: science rose 14 points in the latest year to 39%, while math fell 9 points over the four years shown to 29%; ELA finished at 48%, down 4 points from its 2022–2023 result. SchoolDigger ranked Richfield at the 48th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, down 7 percentile points from 2023–2024. Its statewide ranking for how well it serves White students was notably lower: the group’s percentile was 22, compared with 48 overall. In 2024–2025, 52% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, within the nearby-school range of 41% to 90%; the student-teacher ratio was 23.0, compared with a nearby-school average of 22.1.
