Summary:
The 94804 zip code area of Richmond, California is home to 14 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, serving a diverse student population. While some schools, such as Richmond College Preparatory, John Henry High, and Richmond Charter Elementary-Benito Juarez, stand out for their relatively strong academic performance, the data reveals significant disparities in student achievement across the schools in the area.
The schools in the 94804 zip code serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with some schools also having a significant representation of African American students. Socioeconomic status appears to be a key factor, as the schools with the highest rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with several schools reporting rates exceeding 40%, which may contribute to the low academic outcomes.
While the public charter schools in the area, such as Richmond College Preparatory and Richmond Charter Elementary-Benito Juarez, appear to be outperforming the traditional public schools, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the significant achievement gap and ensure all students in the West Contra Costa Unified and other districts serving the 94804 zip code have access to a high-quality education.
