Schools in Zip Code 94804

ZIP code 94804 includes 12 schools in the Richmond area: eight elementary schools, two middle schools and two high schools, serving students from elementary through high school. Eleven schools have 2025–26 test results; Richmond Charter Elementary–Benito Juarez has 2024–25 results instead. Across the 11 schools with 2025–26 scores, the average was 19% proficient in ELA, 13% in math and 10% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. The central finding is that every supplied 2025–26 school result is below its corresponding state result.

Richmond Charter Academy is the clearest middle-school standout: it scored 43% in ELA, 17% in math and 23% in science, compared with Manzanita Middle at 15%, 8% and 10%. The gap between them was 28 points in ELA, 9 in math and 12 in science. Among high schools, Richmond High led ELA and science, while John F. Kennedy High led math; both remained below state results. For K–6 schools, Ford Elementary led ELA, and Coronado Elementary led math and science. Attendance is another concern: chronic absenteeism reached 59% at Stege Elementary, versus 18% statewide.

Year-to-year results were mixed: the average school result fell 1 point in ELA, rose 3 points in math and rose 3 in science. Individual changes varied: Coronado’s science result rose 17 points, while Manzanita’s ELA fell 15 points. SchoolDigger ranked Richmond Charter Academy at the 34th percentile and Manzanita at the 3rd percentile in its 2025–26 rankings. Class-size and income measures do not sort schools into a simple order: Richmond Charter Academy had a student-teacher ratio of 36.7 and 82% free/reduced lunch eligible (school year 2024–25), compared with Manzanita’s ratio of 23 and 86% eligible. These averages combine different grade spans, and one year of change does not establish a lasting trend.
