Summary:

The two elementary schools in Nippersink School District 2 serve tested grades 3–5; Richmond serves kindergarten through grade 5, while Spring Grove also serves prekindergarten. In 2025–2026, both schools scored above state averages in all-grades ELA and mathematics and fifth-grade science, with Spring Grove leading in all three measures.

Spring Grove Elementary School is the achievement standout: its results were 71% in ELA, 63% in mathematics, and 73% in fifth-grade science, compared with 63%, 42%, and 59% at Richmond Grade School. Spring Grove’s lead was 9 percentage points in ELA, 21 in mathematics, and 14 in science, with the largest gap in mathematics. Both schools were above state results, but Richmond’s margins were smaller: 6 points in ELA, 3 in mathematics, and 11 in science, versus Spring Grove’s 15, 24, and 25 points. One grade-level exception is Richmond’s mathematics: it was below the state in grades 4 and 5, while Spring Grove was above the state in all tested grades. Fourth-grade ELA was nearly even between the schools.

Recent changes vary by subject: average ELA fell 4 points across the schools while the state rose 3; average mathematics rose 2 points, compared with a 1-point state gain; and science rose 7 points, about the same as the state. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking for Richmond declined from 71 in 2023–2024 to 57 in 2025–2026, and its rating is 3 stars; Spring Grove’s ranking was 78, 83, then 80, and its rating is 4 stars. In 2024–2025, Richmond’s student–teacher ratio was 13 and 23% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; Spring Grove’s ratio was 12.2 and 25% were free/reduced lunch eligible. These are useful context, not explanations for the score differences.
