Summary

Richmond Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 192 students in Susanville, California, operating as its own Richmond Elementary district, which ranks in the top third statewide.

The school stands out in the area for its strong academic performance, particularly in math and science, where it outperforms both the state average and nearby schools like Shaffer Elementary and Meadow View. Perhaps its most remarkable strength is student attendance; its chronic absenteeism rate is less than a third of the state average and significantly lower than all neighboring schools. It achieves these results while spending less per student than other local districts such as Janesville Union Elementary.

Performance varies by grade, with exceptional results in 3rd and 8th grades but a noticeable dip in 4th and 5th grades, suggesting a potential area for curriculum focus. While the school's overall ranking is above average, its statewide standing has fluctuated in recent years. Compared to other schools in the Susanville Elementary area, Richmond Elementary delivers consistently higher outcomes with efficient use of resources, making it a high-performing choice for families.
