Richgrove Elementary

Public Grades K-8

5154^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,804 California Elementary Schools

Better than 11% of California elementary schools

Summary

Richgrove Elementary serves 477 students in grades K–8 in Richgrove, California. Its 2025–2026 proficiency results were 25% in English language arts (ELA), 17% in math and 6% in science. Science is the clearest concern: Richgrove had the lowest science result among the 11 nearby schools, at 6% compared with a nearby-school average of 32% and a California average of 36%.

Richgrove’s results are below both state and nearby-school averages in all three subjects. Compared with California, the school was 24 percentage points lower in ELA, 21 lower in math and 30 lower in science; compared with nearby-school averages, it was 16 points lower in ELA, 22 lower in math and 25 lower in science. It ranked second-lowest among the nearby schools in ELA and math, above only Ducor Union Elementary, and last in science. The reported district results exactly match the school’s results in all three subjects, so they offer no separate point of comparison.

ELA and math have improved since 2022–2023, while science has barely changed: ELA rose from 19% to 25%, math from 11% to 17%, and science from 6% to 6%. The state gaps narrowed in ELA and math but widened in science. SchoolDigger ranks Richgrove at the 11th percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026, up from the 4th percentile in 2021–2022, but it remains near the bottom statewide. One more favorable signal is its SchoolDigger ranking for English Language Learner students: the group was at the 40th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with 9th percentile overall that year. In 2024–2025, 96% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the highest reported share among nearby schools. The student-teacher ratio was 18.2, below the nearby-school average of 19.2.
