Summary:

Richmond, Massachusetts has just one school in this data set: Richmond Consolidated, a PK–8 school with 157 students that is classified as an Elementary school and belongs to the Richmond district. Because the district lists only this one school, every district-level test score matches the school-level score, so district results and school results tell the same story. The school ranks 165 of 351 districts (53rd percentile, 3 stars) and 310 of 899 schools (66th percentile, 3 stars) for 2025–2026.

Overall, the school performs above the state average. In 2025–2026, 51.55% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (state 40.03%), 47.47% in Math (state 41.11%), and 51.72% in Science (state 40.98%). Math improved from 41.24% in 2024–2025 to 47.47%, moving from barely above the state to solidly above it, while ELA and Science dipped but stayed comfortably ahead. Grade 4 is exceptionally strong: 73.68% in ELA and 78.95% in Math. Grade 3 also shines, and Grade 5 Science (63.16%) and Grade 7 ELA (62.50%) stand out.

The weakness is in the middle grades. Grade 6 Math is the clearest outlier at 15.79%, roughly 26.8 percentage points below the state, and Grade 8 sits below the state in Math, Science, and Civics (all 30.00%). Grade 8 Civics has been below the state two years running. Rank history is stable — 3 stars each year, around the 65th–67th percentile. With only 157 students across PK–8, grade-level cohorts are small and percentages can swing widely, and the free/reduced lunch percentage is not reported, so socioeconomic context is unavailable. Per-student spending is listed at $23,771, though that figure is from 2020–2021.
